Reviews

Come and live the coastal life at The Rigging, our most charming, white-washed cottage set in the idyllic harbourside village of Polperro. With bags of original features paired with modern day comforts, The Rigging is a haven for relaxation and a wonderful base to discover all the delights that this part of Cornwall has to offer.

Lovingly presented, the owners have created a home-from-home experience, where a warm welcome awaits. Pull into your parking area, a real bonus for Polperro, and step inside to discover your holiday haven. Set over three floors, The Rigging is deceptively spacious and surprisingly light for a traditional Cornish Cottage.

The cottage sitting-room is a calm space, accented in gentle shades to perfectly complement the setting and the kitchen/dining-room will be the place to gather for everything from holiday breakfasts, mid-morning snacks and leisurely suppers. On warmer days enjoy your meals on the sunny terrace at the front of the cottage, perhaps popping over to the historic Crumplehorn Inn for a sneaky aperitif or a glass of traditional ale. As it's only the shortest of walks away, it would be a shame not to enjoy their hospitality.

On the first floor you'll find the first of the three beautiful bedrooms, with its own en suite shower-room, along with the family bathroom. A wonderful room with a separate shower for a morning 'rise and shine' rinse and a glorious free-standing bath for a lazy holiday soak.

Heading up to the second floor you'll find the pretty double bedroom and twin room. Set under the eaves, with exposed beams and deep window seats, they are full of charm and everything you would expect from a cottage bedroom.

Customer reviews

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.

Mr Griffiths

We have always loved staying at The Rigging and have many wonderful family holiday memories.The location and bonus of on site parking makes it ideal.Also the Classic holiday team were so friendly helpful and very professional from start to finish so a very big thank you to you all and especially to Julie.

Miss Jacob

The cottage was perfect for. The stairs are steep but not too high. Ceilings are a little low, but this is to be expected in a traditional cottage and was not a problem. Pubs and restaurants in the area are great and the town is not overly busy. The drive fitted 2 cars fairly easily and the seating area at the front is a little sun trap. A couple of the chairs outside were broken and although this couldn’t be remedied during our stay classic cottages keep in touch. There is a very handy bus stop opposite. Even the car park around the corner was very usable and although some feel the daily rate is expensive you can park for the week for £40. We would love to come back again.

Mrs Pritchett

Thank you for an amazing stay at The Rigging. Such a wonderful place to be in Polperro. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay a comfortable home from home experience. A great base to explore further afield whether on foot, by bus or car.

Mr Rhodes

If you're looking for a place in Polperro this cottage is in the perfect location - a 10 minute walk down to the harbour and directly opposite the bus stop if you want to go further afield. The cottage was very clean and comfortable although we did have a slight issue with flies and there is insufficient hot water for all to shower comfortably, with the en suite shower failing to produce any amount of hot water. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rigging and would recommend the property.

Mr Leary

The Rigging cottage is a beautiful cottage which is well equiped and is perfectly located, its only stones throw away from a popular pub / resurant and a very pleasant 5 minute walk to the harbour of Polperro. Regular buses to Polruan and Looe can be caught from across the road. Due to age of the cottage the ceilings are low and the stairs are narrow but at 6'2" I managed fine ??

Mrs Porter

Good location. Cottage has very low ceilings and steep stairs to the bedrooms. Sitting room smaller than appears.

Mrs Neave

A lovely quirky cottage very close to the town - beware the stairs if you are older! And parking two cars is a challenge. Very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
