I could write 45 pages on why this property is the best experience I ever had. The little cottages are so luxurious, the view is spectacular, it’s so quiet and elegant. The food is AMAZING and I never say that about any restaurant ever. They had healthy and delicious options, everything is sustainably sourced, and the staff is SPECTACULAR. I did not want to leave. The main lodge and restaurant is so beautiful and so modern and spotlessly clean. They also have a sweat lodge and a cold plunge and the most amazing hot tub with a view of the Skye Harbor. Do not stay anywhere else in Skye or Portree. You MUST stay here. This is not just a beautiful place to rest your head or grab a gourmet bite to eat… This is a full on amazing EXPERIENCE. The Staff is the BEST And you will never want to leave this place. Being there is like getting a giant hug every single day. I cannot wait to go back!!!!!!!!! Five stars all the way!

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!

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!

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.

There is something so romantic about staying in a place that feels both secluded but with all the little touches of high end finishing a one could need. I want to address a few of the other comments, yes the physical rooms are small and do not have a lot of space for an American sized suitcase, yes the bathroom is small and is in the same hut therefore can lead to a lack of privacy for certain aspects of life so if you are looking for physical space and privacy from your partner do not book here. If you are looking for a one of a kind experience that makes you feel like you are the only person standing on a hill with the vast isle of Skye with City and water views before you this is the place. The heated floors were so well received after a day of hiking I could not stop commenting. The bed linens felt so luxurious and for a smaller room the bed felt enormous. There was more than enough storage space for everything and the tiny bathroom had such nice toiletries I had to track down the supplier before leaving the island so I could bring it home with me. (Not hard to do they can be found a 5 minute drive away on the way out of town). The shower was small but mighty and gave the perfect amount of pressure after walking the hills all day. The staff were exceptionally friendly without being overbearing (shoutout to Aiden and Lola ) always with a smile or a suggestion for activities. The hotel bar also felt so luxe and the lobby views left my jaw on the floor

Pros: great real estate. The pods are cute and cosy and at the top of the hill have amazing views. The interior design in the main building is impressive and well thought out. The breakfast was great with full table service, and is much improved from earlier reviews I read. Cons: 1. We booked several weeks in advance into the restaurant for a Friday night dinner - bookings are essential in Skye. We checked in that afternoon and found out the restaurant was closed and nobody had contacted us. Impossible to get in anywhere for dinner at short notice so we had to eat from a burger van in the Co-op car park nearby (actually quite good!). We weren’t offered any compensation for the inconvenience until we asked for it. 2. I don’t believe they clean the rooms very thoroughly between guests. We found two items in separate places in the pod from previous guests that were quite obvious (one in an open shelf by the bed, one in the bottom of the wardrobe) 3. The walk to the pods at the top of the hill is a steep climb. They take your suitcases up for you in a golf buggy but you have to walk yourself. If you have a disability that impacts your ability to walk / climb steep hills, I would suggest notifying the hotel in advance so you can be in a pod further down the hill

This was hands down one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Our room was clean, cozy, and full of amenities. Our daily free breakfast was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced so many options and made to order. The dinner was amazing everything was cooked to perfection! The Haggis bon bons are a must try! The staff are incredible, so informative, and so accommodating. This was such a beautiful place, we will definitely be back on our next trip to the highlands.

We loved our stay at the Bracken Hide! The cottages/huts were modern facilities, yet so charming and comfortable. You do have to be able to walk up a hill to get to your cottage, but there is a porter who takes your bags up and down for you. We loved the restaurant. Our dinner there the first night was spectacular, probably the best salmon we've ever had and the breakfast was truly extraordinary in presentation and taste. The staff was so kind, generous and informative. They gave great suggestions and went out of their way to make sure we felt taken care of. We highly recommend staying at the Brecken Hide!

Very unique little pods overlooking beautiful rolling hills and the harbour. Full streaming services and excellent onsite restaurant. Clean and cozy. Also, lovely staff, especially Shannon, our server. Lots of tea, coffee, and treats that were complimentary. My only complaint was that the water for the shower could have been hotter. The water both days was not hot enough. Other than that the place was perfect.
