Bracken Hide Hotel

The property was an experience with individual huts. Very clean but small. Walked to the restaurant and our car but was expecting that. Glad we stayed!

Výhled z pokojů byl pěkný

Tolle Lage, tolles Frühstück und Abendessen

Das Hotel ist aussergewöhnlich und sehr cool! Zu Fuss aber weniger zu empfehlen, da von den Hubs bis in die Stadt mit ca 25Min pro Weg gerechnet werden muss

I loved the location, view and feel. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were very good. The stay was special and there’s was no disappointment.

Es war eine sehr schöne Lage oberhalb von Portree

We are really torn on our stay at Bracken Hide – we spent 4 nights there and it was meant to be the highlight of our honeymoon, a fairly expensive option even if we booked it well in advance in January.
We’ve struggled to put our finger on why we left slightly disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful setting, and on paper, the wooden huts and the view and general set-up sound romantic and like the perfect place to explore Skye.
We found that a few things let Bracken Hide down: firstly, we probably underestimated how far away from the main Hub some of the huts are. I’m five months pregnant and we had a hut in the “first row” from the main building, and I still found it a struggle. They have two golf buggies to take your luggage but they are not permitted to take guests on those, and we had to wait quite a while for our luggage to be delivered and picked up again.
Secondly, while the hut was lovely, it just fell short of perfect – the bathroom was suitable especially considering it’s a small hut, but then there were no small hand towels, only big bathrobes – small things like this.
The WIFI was very weak which we’d seen in other reviews, but considering you might want to snuggle down with a cozy film on a rainy evening this could be improved. We were super happy to see that they had some EV chargers in the car park (absolutely critical on Skye) but they did not work.
The third issue we had was with dinner – everyone was so lovely and friendly, but we didn’t anticipate how busy the restaurant would get. They don’t serve any food in the bar, and if you didn’t book a table for dinner way in advance it became an issue. Given you’re out exploring Skye and it’s hard to anticipate when you’ll be back, having to book dinner three days in advance is tricky.

The location and the setting was unique and gave a feeling of space and intimacy at the same time. Our Hide was fun and we enjoyed the opportunity to stay.

Great location for those who seek quite with amazing view.
But, basically, that's the only upside.

The hotel was breathtaking on the drive in and very different from what we had stayed in on our trip. The service was very accommodating with an extra special shout out to a specific porter named Jack , we had an issue w our tv and internet and he was amazing at finding a solution, he was at our cabin multiple times in the pouring rain to try to fix the issue and the next day we were surprised w a fix and a sweet note. He really went above and beyond! So thank you!
The main building was very welcoming w a lounge and bar. The breakfast was delicious! It was the last leg of our trip and an absolutely amazing and memorable way to end it ! The cabins were very cozy and beautifully done!

Location is lovely and the cabins are wonderful. They are comfortable, and well designed inside and out. We loved the view and the privacy. The main building is also beautifully designed with nice bar and seating.

المكان هادي وطبيعه حلوه

Excellent staff very pleasant and efficient. Restaurant wonderful! Delicious food, dinner and breakfast. Bar great! So were bar staff:) Everyone very helpful! Left cardigan and it arrived back in the States in days! Location of our hide was good, not so far up the hill....it does start pouring out of the blue! Took advantage of sauna, ok, had to wait to get hot and large machine in waiting area took up space for three people, our son did cold plunge, very natural pool. Expensive but if back to Isle of Sky would return to Bracken Hide!

Me gustó mucho el restaurante del hotel

Amazing view in the hillside cabin
