I had an absolutely wonderful time here. The staff at the front desk was so helpful, and so quick to address any question or concern. My meals were excellent as was the service in the dining room and bar. The Sauna/cold plunge experience was exceptional and the coziness of my cabin cannot be paralleled. I cannot speak more highly of this experience, book it!

Amazing hotel with fantastic views across the Isle of Skye and the surrounding sea. Modern, very “Bind villain” vibe to the main building, all the guest rooms are individual pods in the surrounding grounds. These are quite small but well done and very cosy. The food in the hotel was excellent - we had breakfast twice and a festive dinner one night, all amazing. Probably the best hotel on Skye and well worth it. Oh and all the staff were super helpful and friendly, and the bar did great cocktails. We’ll definitely be back.

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!

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.
