Precious in the isle of Skye. Charming rooms, tiny but confortable, amazing breakfast. The bar is also great!

Stayed in March 2025

the cabins are quite small + the sauna needed to be booked for an exact hour but it wasn’t even hot when we got there for an agreed hour (so we wasted quite a lot of time (during our booking) to get it steamy and working)

location, sauna, great breakfast

Stayed in March 2025

Just a little disappointed the sauna not on for the time I booked it for. Just put back our evening by 45min/1hr. Wasn't offered fruit juice at breakfast, didn't know you could have again not major at all

Plunge pool

Stayed in February 2025

A lovely elevated position above Portree but within walking distance of the harbour and down centre. The main hotel building with the restaurant served excellent food and staff were very helpful. I didn't think I would brave the plunge pool but after being in the sauna for a while it was actually bearable.

The main pain point was for our car, as we did have to navigate a particularly large, concrete speed bump to get into the car park — no problem if you're in a 4x4 but if you have a low car, it's pretty risky. Also, as we were in the off-season, the restaurant and bar were closed and we weren't informed until we checked-in — this was mostly just disappointing as we were really looking forward to dinner at the restaurant! The staff member was very quick to recommend alternative dinner plans, though.

Perfect location, a walkable distance into Portree but you feel really remote. The pods are brilliant — super cosy and with all the modern comforts you could want, the perfect set-up for relaxing after a day exploring Skye. Breakfast in the morning was spectacular, from the local produce to the service and the view, we're already planning a return trip next year!

Absolutely everything. The hotel is better in person. Stunning views Luxurious cabins The staff were beyond amazing, so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was a bonus (not a buffet but made to order off the menu) Nice surprises in the cabin, such as glass bottles of still and sparkling water and milk. They even provide complimentary chocolates every day. There is also a private sauna service available. We had dinner at the restaurant and the food was delicious.

Sauna was amazing

Stayed in December 2024

Poorly lit path up to the pods, the little solar lights are stylish but not very functional. Bit of an incline up to them which wouldn’t be suitable for some guests. We also got soaked getting up there from the car park as the weather was rough this time of the year. Pod small, only just enough room for us and our suitcase/large bag we brought for our walking holiday. Bathroom too small and no shelves to keep personal toiletries in there. Liked the pod but slept terribly on the flat pillows and resorted to using the decorative cushion to sleep on which was better but not ideal. Staff were very friendly but a few seemed young and inexperienced, which let the place down. We visited in the winter so we considered that perhaps they struggled to cover the hotel out of peak season due to its remote location.

The pod looked lovely and was very snug. Modern and nicely decorated. Lovely view from the outside. Breakfast was delicious. A great continental breakfast and also cooked option. We also had dinner at the hotel one evening. The food was delicious, compliments to their chef. The hotel staff were friendly, helpful and approachable.

Really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were amazing and restaurant and bar were lovely. We loved the plunge pool and sauna and the cabins were comfortable and well appointed.

Nothing

Beautiful warm cabins with heated floors. We also loved the sauna and cold plunge area and you could book it out for the hour so you had it to yourselves. Little bit of a mishap with our room still being cleaned when we checked in but the staff were nothing but lovely and very apologetic and gave us some gifts which we thought was very kind. The food was also amazing as well and not to mention the amazing location and views! Loved our stay and will be recommending to family and friends :)

Nothing, it's the best hotel I've stayed in during many visits to Skye

The breakfast was outstanding, served by lovely attentive staff, loved the music playlist! Marlene at the front desk was helpful, warm and informative, young guy from Edinburgh in the bar was so nice and welcoming

Cabins are very small. Housekeeping service is awful.

staff very helpful and pleasant

The pods were cosy and very clean and had all the basic necessities required. The staff were super friendly and it was great to have the main building with games and a bar to relax in. The breakfast was plentiful with many delicious options to choose from. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed so I cannot comment on dinner.

Stayed in October 2024

No fault of the hotel but we had very heavy rain throughout ourvstay and there wasn’t really anyway to take of soaking clothes before entering your Pod, which in turn made the pod quiet humid at night

Location Style and Customer Service

No even a single chair in the room, difficult to work when required.

Quiet and privacy. View is great.

Stayed in September 2024

The bathroom was lacking in towel hooks or bars (only a problem if you’re staying for more than one night)

We were a group of 9 traveling from the USA and this was one of the few properties that could host all of us together. The individual cottages were small, clean and cozy. The queen-sized beds were very comfortable memory foam. The central building houses the restaurant, bar, and gathering space, all of which we put to good use. The breakfast was delicious, and the menu sufficiently varied to meet the desires of all nine of us! Also, parking was plentiful.

Stayed in September 2024

During our check in, is a heavy rain day with strong winds and we need to walk our way to our cabin. That’s the challenging part. Lucky there is buggy to send our luggage in. Cabin is not very spacious. A bit over rated for the money paid

The breakfast is the best part of the overall stay, with variety of choices. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The cabin is nice with heated flooring. Love the view from the cabin

Falling ill was not in our plans, but it never is and it does happen. The Hotel was not fully prepared for a take-away meal option with trays and containers, but they did their best to accommodate our needs. This is the only area for improvement we would suggest.

This was a surprisingly well-designed pod with a comfy bed and bathroom in a lovely hillside setting and a view of the harbor. Sadly, we both fell ill during our stay, so it was especially helpful to be able to stream movies on the large screen TV using our Netflix account, which helped keep us entertained while we recovered. It was also great that breakfast and dinner options were just a short walk away in the main lodge. We highly recommend the Bracken Hide Hotel!

The paths to and from the car park and the pods. The gravel was hard to walk on and the buggies that are used have created tram lines. The lighting was a little dark and the signs to the pods were not always clear.

The staff were exceptional and very friendly. The breakfast was great. We didn't quite understand the pods before we arrived, but decided that they were nice. Very comforatable bed.

A bit overpriced.

Unique. Quiet. Close to town.

Leaving!

Absolutely everything! While the hotel itself is nothing less than stunning - it is the people who make it even more spectacular. Most significant was the exemplary service and kindness shown from all the staff. The porter service - from James - was an added bonus - and he is a credit to the hotel. A huge thankyou to all the staff - especially Lindsay who went way above and beyond, on a number of occasions, to provide extra ordinary support, service, genuine warmth and kindness to me - as a solo traveller. There were many other staff who I wish to acknowledge - including Shannon and Melina (I don’t know the names of everyone worth mentioning unfortunately). I also want to extend huge thanks to Howard, who also supported me to get accomodation at a sister property when I had made an error with my dates. It was lovely when he checked in on me to make sure everything was ok when I arrived there. Stella service from everyone!!!

The property is beautiful and the cabins are very comfortable and charming. This stay was a highlight of our trip to Scotland!
