Square Cottage and Old House, Lundy
On the left is Square Cottage and on the right Old House. Old House has been subdivided to make two properties available to rent.

According to the Landmark Trust website: Square Cottage’s front door opens on to the garden behind Old House. To the south and east it has spectacular views, especially from the upstairs sitting-room. Square Cottage sleeps 3.

Old House, North and South, is the most handsome building on the island, in perhaps the best position, and made of the best-looking granite. Old House North sleeps 2, and Old House South sleeps 5.
Lundy Island :: SS1343

Lundy is an island in the Bristol Channel three miles long and half a mile wide. The closest point on the mainland is Hartland Point 11 miles away. Geologically Lundy is a granite mass formed about 50 million years ago and it is surrounded by steep cliffs, which have historically made it a natural fortress, although the island's interior is fairly flat. It is now owned by the National Trust but managed by the Landmark Trust which has a number of holiday cottages available to visitors. In the summer months the MS Oldenburg provides a ferry service to north Devon but in winter the only connection with the mainland is by helicopter. Lundy has a church, a pub and a shop, and is known for its wildlife and rock climbing. In 1986 the island was designated Britain's first statutory marine nature reserve.
