House manual

The Little Pines is a one bedroom annexe, completely separate from the main house, with its own private entrance and decked courtyard. It sits between Falmouth's two best beaches: five minutes to Gyllyngvase, ten to Swanpool and the town centre.

Check in is from 16:00 and check out is by 10:00.

Check yourself in using the lockbox.

Please use the garden door as your main entrance at all times. The sliding door to the driveway is for emergencies only.

Free on-street parking, and there are usually plenty of spaces, which is rare in Falmouth.

• If the wifi drops, report it through the guidebook's "Something wrong?" button and we will sort it.

The air conditioning unit is controlled with the remote provided. We find 22C is about right for sleeping. To save energy, please switch it off when you go out.

The same unit provides the heating.

The wood burner is there for you through the colder months. We leave a small amount of logs, kindling and firelighters to get you started.

The shower is electric rather than run off a gas boiler, so it takes a little longer for the temperature to settle. Set the dial to 2 for the best performance and give it a moment to get there.

There is a private sauna on the decked patio, which is a lovely thing after a cold swim at Gyllyngvase.

The sauna is an extra at £30 for your stay, which covers unlimited use and two extra towels. Just ask and we will get it set up for you.

The sauna takes 10 to 15 minutes to heat. Turn it on by rotating the switch.

The TV has Prime and the catch up channels. There are no digital terrestrial channels, though some of the streaming services do carry live TV.

The listing also mentions Netflix, Disney+ and Chromecast.

The fuse box can occasionally trip and cut the power. It is behind the wardrobe in the corner of the annexe. Make sure all the switches are in the up position to restore power. If the electricity does not come back on, please contact us straight away.

Please put your rubbish bags in the black bin outside, next to the sauna.

• No smoking inside the annexe.
• No parties or events.
• Please keep the noise down after 11pm out of respect for the neighbours.
• Please remove your shoes.
• We love animals, and pets are welcome, but please do not leave them unattended in the property.
• Please leave the annexe roughly as you found it. Thank you.

Please use the garden door as your main entrance. The sliding door to the driveway is the emergency exit.
