The Old Brewery is situated right at the edge of the sea shore on the fringes of the picturesque town of Cromarty. Within easy walking distance you will find award-winning museums, galleries, restaurant, cafes and shops. There are two pubs serving locally-brewed ale, a busy harbour, play park, sandy beaches and a resident population of bottlenose dolphins!  There are peaceful woodland and coastal walks, interesting 18thC architecture and buildings of historical significance.

While we are not a standard B&B, but first and foremost an arts and education centre and therefore our priority is to take bookings that fulfil our charitable remit. These include training groups, workshops, attendees of arts, literature, music groups and events, team-building, etc.  We are unable to open the building just for ad hoc individual bookings but may be able to accommodate individuals or small B&B groups if there is availability. Unfortunately we don't allow hen or stag parties in this listed building.  

We deeply regret that the bedrooms at Old Brewery are not accessible for wheelchair users. The cafe area, two studio rooms and an accessible toilet are on the ground floor but unfortunately all bedrooms and the Loft Studio are accessed by flights of stairs with no alternative options. We do have a fully accessible bedroom in Ardyne House, a short distance from the Old Brewery. Please note that we are unable to allow dogs to stay apart from assistance dogs.
