Stay at the Arthouse
Next January, Derek and I are going away for a month. So I am offering the very rare opportunity to stay and enjoy the Arthouse and the Lookout while we are away. It is very inexpensive because we would like to have someone who will appreciate this extraordinary location. The two weeks available are Wednesday 8th January to Wednesday 15th January and Wednesday 15th January to 22nd January. Please let me know if you would like more details.
