The ArthouseSelf-cateringThe Arthouse is in an enviable location just a two minute walk from the head of Lake Windermere at Waterhead which boasts a choice of places to eat and drink whilst Ambleside centre is just a ten minute walk where you will find an abundance of restaurants, pubs, shops and a cinema.
Newly built, the emphasis at The Arthouse is on luxury, style, comfort and providing everything you could possibly need for your self-catering holiday home from home. The owner is a well-known artist, and you will find many of his abstract originals adorning the walls. With so much to do in the area straight from the door, you may never need to use the car - walk to the summit of Fairfield Horseshoe, cruise across Lake Windermere or hire your own boat.....the list is long!
