Know before you go
Crumplehorn: the top of Polperro, where visitors leave the car and walk down
Crumplehorn is the name for the upper part of Polperro, on the south coast of Cornwall. It lies to the north of the village, on the A387, and is where visitors leave their cars before walking down to the harbour. This guide covers Crumplehorn on its own, and Polperro has a separate guide.
Cars can no longer be driven into Polperro, so visitors use the main car park at Crumplehorn. The walk through the half mile length of the village to the harbour is downhill, and the return is uphill.
The Crumplehorn Inn stands at the top of the village. It is a converted farmhouse and mill, with a fine overshot waterwheel beside it. The inn is described as 14th century, and the farmhouse and mill are mentioned in the Domesday Book. Its address is The Old Mill, Crumplehorn.
A little planning goes a long way
Before you book your Crumplehorn stay
Two properties can look close on a map and still involve a very different journey. Ask about the whole stay, from unloading your bags to getting back after an evening out.
Find places to eat in CrumplehornHills, steps and access
Ask the host about the route from the street to your room, lift access, bathroom layout and any steps inside. A central address or harbour view does not tell you whether a property suits your mobility needs.
Families and dogs
Confirm the room layout, cot or extra bed arrangements and any dog restrictions directly. For cottages, check outside space and where you can unload. Do not assume a whole property, parking or pet permission is included.
