Mescontent des prestations Bracken Hide
Pros:

Le petit dejeuner.

Cons:

Le concept de pods pour dormir sur un montagne a 10 minute de randonnee grimpant depuis le batiment principale qui resemble un blaukhaus. Pas de transport ici, tous ce fait a pied.. Et merde si tu a oublie qqchose dans le pod ou dans ta voiture. Cet hotel na pas de chambres dans lhotel que les pods loin a lexterieur.. Ceci nest pas claire sur Booking ou le site dhotel. Staff ne sont pas tres aimiable et vraiement pret a vous aider- debrouillez- vous.! Meme avec les valises. Un pod parmi les 3 nous avons loue a ete en mauvais etat. Bref a 500 euros la nuit un tres mauvais rapport qualite prix. On attends mieux pour cette prix.

Another style of hotel
Pros:

The location and concept are great. The field is covered by small huts and it’s quite astonishing. It definitely provides a different vibe. The staff and restaurant quality were excellent.

Cons:

I’m still trying to justify the price, comparing it to other hotels were we stayed in a similar price range. Maybe that if the rooms were a bit larger…

Different Type of Stay
Pros:

The property is unique and the hides come with air conditioning. The views are spectacular and it is very quiet. They will take your luggage to your hide in a. Gold cart which was super helpful. The rooms were beautiful and the luggage fit under the bed easily to make more room. Shower had excellent pressure.

Cons:

The WiFi was spotty in the hide. Some of the staff were wonderful- the guys that took the luggage were terrific. Some staff were not so friendly. We had terrible service one night at the bar when a staff member who apparently didn’t usually work the bar was there. Things seemed disjointed like not all staff was trained or they were short staffed.

Great accommodations and food. Something pleasantly different than most B&Bs. Excellant food
Pros:

Close enough to Portree to walk to and from. Cabin was larger than hotel rooms in Edinburgh and Inverness. Sitting on the porch and drinking coffee. Breakfast and Dinner were both excellent

Cons:

Had to leave to continue our trip
