Looking for a base for an arts, environmental or educational focused retreat?

Get away from it all in idyllic Cromarty, the perfect place to lose yourself in learning a new skill or developing a current one by immersing yourselves in this very special corner of the Highlands.

You can come as  a group, bringing your own tutors or workshop leaders or come along to participate in on of the many events and activities arranged by Cromarty Arts Trust.

We have three historic buildings in Cromarty. Read more here and on the individual pages.

Ardyne

Old Brewery

Stables

ARDYNE

    

Right in the heart of the town at 19 Bank Street, sits Ardyne House - the Cromarty Arts Trust office/HQ but also the home of more comfortable but still affordable accommodation for those wishing to pursue their own studies/art/writing. 

OLD BREWERY

    

The magnificent 18th century sandstone building on the edge of town is the perfect location for retreats, study workshops or groups that wish to experience and learn about the landscape, ecology, history and wildlife of the area.  Find out more here. Old Brewery

We very much regret that the Old Brewery is not disabled access friendly at this time. All bedrooms are only accessed via stairs.

The Stables

This imposing Georgian building was converted in 1995 to accommodate a Gallery, West Wing area, ground floor artists’ studios.

To make an enquiry or booking, please email info@cromartyartstrust.org.uk or phone us on 01381 600354. We regret that we cannot allow pets (other than assistance dogs) in any of the buildings. Thank you for your understanding.
