Terms, conditions and other useful information Bookings The Dairy, Knights in the Bottom, is available for booking throughout the year. Bookings are normally for a week or a whole number of weeks in the high season. A week commences on Saturday (between 15:30 and 18:00) and finishes on a Saturday (not later than 10:00). The exceptions are the two weeks over the Christmas holidays, which are arranged to ensure that Christmas and New Year fall in the middle of these letting weeks. Adherence to the arrival and departure times is important to ensure thorough cleaning can be effected between guests leaving and arriving. Low season mid-week to mid-week bookings, long weekends or short breaks, are available. Long weekends or short breaks attract one price (quoted in brackets) when the cottage is occupied for 4 nights or fewer. Breaks of 5, 6 or 7 nights attract the weekly price. Where a low season week and a high season week are adjacent long weekend or short breaks are not available which would occupy any days of the high season week. Where two consecutive weeks have different prices the cost of the break will be the average of the prices for each of the weeks across which the long weekend or short break is booked. For advance bookings, that is bookings made at least 9 weeks before the start of the holiday, an initial booking will be provisional and held for seven days. The booking will be confirmed on receipt of a 30% deposit. If payment is received later than seven days after the booking, confirmation will only be made if the dates remain available, otherwise the payment will be returned. A further payment of the remaining 70% of the cost of the holiday plus a GBP100 returnable deposit against breakages and other costs (e.g. telephone) must be received 8 weeks prior to commencement of the holiday. All bookings made less than 8 weeks before the start of the holiday will be considered firm bookings and must be fully paid within 72 hours of the booking having been made. If full payment, i.e. the cost of the holiday plus a GBP100 returnable deposit, is not received within 72 hours the booking will become unconfirmed and the dates will become available for letting again.
