A beautiful cabin on a hill..
We had a wonderful stay for a couple of nights at Bracken Hide. Everyone we met were super friendly and nice. We liked our cabin, nice view and cosy. We paid for the breakfast and it was great. They had a set menu to choose from. There were a lot of choices. We ordered the Scottish breakfast the first day and Eggs Benedict the next. Made to order cappuccino and hot chocolate. The area was a nice base to explore the rest of Isle of Skye. You have to walk a little bit to get to your cabin from the parking lot and from the restaurant but they offer to take your luggage in their golf cart. Will return again.

After reading many reviews and trying to do my due dilligence, we decided to book for our Engagement weekend on the Isle of Skye and were so happy we did!! The hotel staff was super friendly, fun, and personable. They have a golf cart to bring your bags to your room, and the rooms are cozy and quaint with a modern touch! It would have been nice for more counter space in the bathroom- hopefully they can add an extra shelf there. The free breakfast was fantastic, and they were accomodating to diertary requests. The dinner and bar area are beautiful, and after going to The View (Michelin recommended) this restaurant was much better in my opinion. The sauna and ice bath were lovely, it would have been nicer if the sauna was hotter, but the aesthetic was perfect. Also the hotel staff were so kind to us during our engagement weekend, and left us a special surprise in our room when we arrived after the proposal! Will defintely book again!

Fabulous pods!
Had an amazing stay here- pods are so lovely and cosy. The sauna and plunge pool fun and the breakfast was good. Friendly staff especially Marlena. Only 25 min walk into Portree - highly recommended! Also thank you to Hotels.com and Marlena for allowing me to change the date when a storm was due - even though we had passed the cancellation date. fabulous service from both on this account!

My husband and I had a rather interesting stay on the Isle of Skye during our Scotland vacation, but our stay at The Bracken Hide was one of the highlights of our time there. The property is gorgeous and in a perfect location...walkable to the city centre but just far enough away that you can really appreciate the Skye feeling...beautiful views! The bungalows were very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the heated floors! They are a bit small, and there's not a whole lot of room for large amounts of luggage. However, all of the other amenities are there...TV, coffee, tea, etc. The gravel pathways to each area of the resort are a bit difficult to walk, particularly if you have rolling luggage or physical limitations. However, the staff have golf carts and can carry you/your luggage to and from your room as needed. All of the staff were so kind, caring, and helpful. For instance, on the evening we checked in, we were late arriving to the hotel due to car trouble, and we were starving. The kitchen and restaurant staff graciously agreed to stay after the restaurant had closed to accommodate us! And the food was amazing!!! Also during our stay, my husband became ill and was unable to travel. The hotel willingly accommodated us for an additional night, and the staff were so attentive and helpful. This hotel is a bit pricey compared to other accommodations in the area, but the quality of the facilities and service make it worthwhile!

The cabins were small but very cosy, lovely towels for shower and very nice toiletries, bed was very comfortable. There was a great choice at breakfast, we ate twice in the evening at the hotel and like breakfast it was all freshly cooked and very generous portions, food was first class! Staff were attentive and very friendly! We loved our stay and would love to stay again!

Gazing the stars from Bracken Hide Portree
It was fantastic from start to end of our 3 night stay. Love the location, the style, the warmth of every staff member we met, including the general workers, the reception and the ladies at the restaurant. The view of Portree from the hut was amazing especially in the morning. Love the butter they serve at breakfast too!! Wishing upon the many stars at night that we can come back to Bracken Hide again!!

The receptionist was very kind and accommodating, she gave us recommendations on places to eat nearby and ensured that we had breakfast even when checking out earlier than expected. The cabins had a beautiful view that was unforgettable. One of our least favorite things about it was having to hike up a hill to reach our cabin. Thankfully, our luggage was brought up by an employee in a golf cart, but do keep this in mind if you choose to stay here. All in all, the experience was positive and I would stay here again.

Unique concept, but a bit clumsily done. Rooms (pods) were quite small, on a hill (nice view of the town) with the restaurant/lounge down a gravel path. Parking lot is also gravel with no lighting. The staff (especially Zara in the bar) were fabulous.

We really enjoyed our stay and experience at Bracken Hide! The setting is so unique and felt really personal. The staff was so kind, we were greeted and our bags were taken directly to our rooms while we finished checking in. We were able to book our dinner for the evening and set a breakfast time for the morning knowing we were getting an early start. The cabins are small, but so cozy. Hands down the best shower we have had all trip - amazing water pressure and hot water. In room tea and robes, with Porter out front was amazing. A bit of a walk up to the cabins, but so worth it! Dinner was amazing, and the breakfasts in the AM were so good! We did take advantage of the plunge and sauna, which was such a fun experience. We were informed ahead of time that the restaurant would be closed for dinner on our second night, but a list of local restaurants were provided. We used this as an excuse to turn in early and selected Pizza in the Skye, for a quiet night. Phenomenal pizza option if the restaurant happens to be closed! We loved our stay here, would absolutely stay again!

The location is beautiful and close enough to walk into town. The pods themselves are perfect, cozy and nicely done. Wonderful views as well from your bed. Check in did take quite a while. The rain was heavy and it took over an hour to wait in the lobby for someone to bring the luggage to the room so we could get settled. Breakfast was good, although the staff again did take quite a while to bring coffee etc. just be flexible with your time expectations. You're really staying there for the experience.

The staff were amazing, helped me plan my proposal so well and made it very easy. They organized a flower delivery from a local florist and set it up in the room for our arrival. They were so excited and happy the next morning at our breakfast. Would love to go back and stay here again. The room was so cozy and the view was spectacular. Breakfast was also very good.

I’ll start with the good things. What staff there were, they were very pleasant. The pods are fastidiously clean, well appointed with a very comfortable bed. The hotel reception/bar/restaurant is beautiful. But, and there’s a big but, I would absolutely not recommend staying at this hotel. We arrived to be told that the restaurant was closed two days a week and was unavailable to us and ‘have you not received the email?’. No we had not received the email and we would not have paid over £300 per night for a hotel with no restaurant. It turns out that ‘because you booked with Expedia you won’t have got an email’. This explanation is not acceptable and we feel very much aggrieved. We had to go searching for somewhere to get lunch after a very long drive to Skye. Also the entrance is very poorly signposted and after having had to go out for dinner, we completely missed the entrance on our return in the dark. On the upside, we discovered a beautiful hotel where the food was amazing and where we will be staying in two weeks time when we return to Skye. There was no fridge, so the milk left for tea and coffee went off. All in all, very disappointing from a venue that held so much promise.
