The Rigging is a nice cottage in Crumplehorn, a 10 minute walk down to Polperro. It has good parking on site though getting in or out can be tricky when a bus is parked opposite the entrance. The cottage is very well provided with everything you might need in terms of the kitchen and the bathrooms and was warm and comfortable even in the cold and wet weather we had for our week! There were some welcoming scones and cream and jam when we arrived and milk in the fridge which we appreciated. All in all a very good cottage if you don't want to be in the heart of Polperro....

We're delighted to see how much you enjoyed visiting The Rigging; it was lovely to see that you were warm and cosy when the weather was so wet and cold. We're sorry you had difficulty accessing the ample parking space when a bus was parked, we have not had that reported before so we shall keep this monitored. What a wonderful welcome cream tea after your journey. Perfect! Sarah, Customer Support...

Such a wonderful cottage in a beautiful location. Very well equipped. Comfy beds and bed linen. We would love to return one day.
Mr Harrison April 2025
Lovely cottage well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great location at the top of the village, private parking a big plus as the parking in the village is very expensive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at The Rigging. We took heed of the directions advice in locating The Rigging and this was spot on. We appreciated the text from the housekeeper in saying the cottage was ready earlier than 4pm. On this particular occasion, it didn't make any difference to us, as we arrived after this time, but would have been useful if we had travelled earlier. It was clean and tidy. Awaiting us was 4 scones, strawberry jam, clotted cream and 1 pint of semi skimmed milk, which was very welcoming and delicious! The location is ideal for visiting the area. We went to Polperro, Lansallos (only 2 miles away), Looe, Fowey, and the National Trust Landhydrock House and Gardens. We walked from Polperro to Looe along the South Coast path and then caught the bus back (£6 for 2 of us). Also, walked to Palace Cove and Lantivet Cove and part of the way to Polruan along the coastal path. The bus stop is opposite the cottage and the buses turn around quite often near the cottage. My husband was concerned that the reversing noise would be a problem, but it wasn't an issue at all. Plenty of people watching, if you wished, and a very short walk back to the cottage when we used the bus! There is also a post box at the end of the driveway, which was ideal for us, as I had bought a Ruby Wedding Anniversary card to post whilst we were staying there (too early to post before we left home). We noticed in the guests book that some had previously mentioned there was no microwave. The owners obviously took note and this has now been provided and we actually used it during our stay. It is a shame the owners have not heeded the many comments written by previous guests about the shower being lukewarm. We also found the same - it is barely warm, so were disappointed at this. Places we ate at during our stay were:- OXOX Noughts & Crosses in Polperro - a little pricey, but worth it for the quality of food and the ambience, 50 in Looe, again a little pricey, but the food was very good, Smugglers Cott in Looe - good food and friendly staff, Coddy Shack, just outside Looe - a very good choice of fish and chips and the Golden Guinea pub - basic food. Would have awarded 5 stars, but downgraded due to the shower being lukewarm and not resolved by the owners. ...
