A Unique and Fun Experience! This was such a fun adventure! The pods are super cute, cozy, and comfortable. We also tried the sauna and cold plunge — such a great experience. The staff were absolutely incredible, especially Zara, who went above and beyond to make our stay special.

Beautiful view, awful bed w/ hike to nice room

Beautiful resort and room with great service however we had a very long walk (1/4 mile) to our hide up the hill and long walk back to our car every time we wanted to come and go. We are fit people who came to see Skye and hike. We weren’t thrilled to hike to our room after a long day of hiking. There was a golf cart that the staff would take you up if needed but we couldn’t and didn’t want to ask for every trip. The bed was extremely lumpy with springs poking us in the back- so much we actually rotated the mattress to try to make it better. There were no washcloths and the bed side lights would not turn off all the way. We couldn’t turn off the heater in the bathroom so had to turn on the ac to com at the heat. We had no internet in our room so could not work when we needed to. The Bracken itself was beautiful and the restaurant was very good and the service fantastic. We expected more from a 4 star hotel and would have liked to have known that we would be no where near our vehicle and that we were expected to trek up the hill to our room- the trade off I guess is that we had a pretty good view. Mixed review from us for sure! We loved parts and hated parts. Would we stay again? Not sure

Wonderful stay

Staying here was a wonderful experience, from the service to the ambiance. It's close to town but peacefully removed from it as well. We loved staying in the cabins and wish we could have stayed longer. The breakfast was also delicious!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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!

They are very quaint and rustic pods. I knew they were small but would have liked somewhere to put toiletries in the bathroom. Oddly, there wasn’t any facial tissues. But, beautiful, relaxing view of the bay. Great food and service at the restaurant. I would recommend this hotel.

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.
