The little cabins were cute, but incredibly stuffy and with lots of midges flying around (so we were unable to use the patio or open a door. It would’ve been great to have a small window to get air moving. Also, the large window/door looked out onto the main path, so we had very little privacy. The sauna/pool and restaurant were also closed so
We stayed in one of the pods high up on the hill at Bracken Hide Hotel. The view out over Portree and the harbour was fantastic. We were glad that the pod was air conditioned as the weather was quite hot. The pods are very new and modern.
The walk up to the pod on a gravel path was fairly strenuous but you can get a ride in a golf buggy which is essential with luggage. But be warned the buggy doesn’t seem to be available all the time.
Also it would great if the dining room where we had our breakfast was air conditioned as it was very hot in the mornings.
We really enjoyed our stay and had a great time.
A very special and unique place! Staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. Lots of fun riding up to the cabin on a golf cart. Very nice restaurant for breakfast and we had a wonderful dinner there the first night. Cabins are very thoughtfully designed and beautiful. Excellent shower and comfortable bed. Easy to walk into town (although we had trouble finding a place to have dinner without reservations!) Nice bookstore in town also. Would love to stay again, highly recommended!
The property is super nice, the facilities are amazing as well as the surroundings. Also the food and service at the restaurant was excellent.

Room was not clean.
Room was not made up after first night.
Shower drain was clogged and it was not repaired even after reporting it after the first night.
The staff were so friendly and helpful!! Other reviews have complained about the walk to the rooms, but rides are available via golf cart. Zara made the best drinks in the bar!
We loved the Isle of Skye and the Bracken Hide was wonderful. We were greeted by staff that brought our bags to our pod. The pod was so cute and cozy and very clean. We enjoyed spending some time in the lounge and the breakfast was delicious!
I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The little units were well equipped with a bed and bathroom, air conditioning, TV etc. The units are small but it was such an interesting experience so would highly recommend. The restaurant was excellent. Breakfast was well done and dinners were top notch. My only complaint was the main hall was warm but other than that it was well done.
This was one of the most beautiful hotels and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend doing the breakfast as it was fantastic and perfect before we set off to explore Isle of Skye for the day. I cannot recommend this place enough. Every staff member was amazing and so friendly!
The cosy cabin was clean and quiet located on hill. The main lodge was modern and comfortable. It was about a mile from the small town of Portree. While I did enjoy my stay, I felt it was very overpriced.

Clean, quiet, great breakfast. Our pod was very distant from main building. Walking in the rain back and forth was a little inconvenient. Overall, great stay.
Overall the cabin is very nice with great views. The food is amazing.
There are a few little things that were missed, that would've made the place exquisite. After check-in, we found an empty bottle of body wash and almost empty shampoo bottle. We got a half-empty bottle from the front desk that was never replaced during the 3 nights stay.
The walk to the top cabin was long and steep.
There are not enough instructions in the room or available at the desk for opertaing the heat/AC and the in-room safe.
Our room, cabin, was all the way on top of hill and we had to walk up a gravel road to get there. We were not aware of that, I had knee problem and could not walk up. They gave us instead the smallest cabin with no space to move or store anything and the install shower would not drain.
Skye is a special place and Braken Hide is great. The restaurant is amazing. Incredible breakfast and dinner. Most amazing is the service of the head waiter who is unfailing friendly and efficient. The tiny rooms are actually quite comfy. The shower was outstanding -- great water pressure. Its hard to sit up in bed because of the sloping ceiling, but otherwise very comfy and efficient. Amazing view from the front porch.
Our stay at the Bracken Hide was lovely. The rooms were very comfortable with excellent beds, climate control and fabulous views. The Scottish breakfast was the best we had our entire trip! Those in the family not wanted the heavier fare were quite happy with the croissants, muesli, yogurt, fruit and other offerings.
They should name this place the “Broken-hide”. First off , if I pay that much there should be a mini fridge in the room. No fridge. Had to walk all the way to the lodge to get ice. Had to hold my cheese and Meds in the lodge kitchen fridge. For that price , don’t you think there should be more than 10 minutes of hot water? The hooks were all broken, no place to hang towels.?No shelf in the shower so the shampoo bottles and soap bottle were on the shower floor. There is no service to take your bags to the room. You have to lug your luggage from the car park all the way to your room. And it’s a long walk, uphill most times. It’s even a longer walk just to get to the restaurant. Definitely not a realistic place for anyone with a disability or a little older. No music in the bar. The only good thing was the food. The food is really good. The views are Amazing and the location is good. But if you want to go to Portree it’s a 45 minute walk. They should have a simple van running every hour or two. It was truly a let down. The staff was wonderful but whoever owns this place is clearly making a money grab for the location and doesn’t seem to care about the details at all. I would source a Better B&B. We will post pictures online. I had high hopes for this place. A real let down.
Beautiful design, great breakfasts, friendly staff, great views! I loved the little cabins all spaced apart from one another.

Not 4 Star. Way too expensive. Pathways to pods, rocky and uneven. Breakfast, can't think of one that was worse. Plus, Staff were friendly and helpfull.
