Beautiful view
Cute little cottage overlooking the town of Portree. Breakfast was amazing!! Definitely ask for assistance getting luggage to your cottage, they have golf carts to transport luggage, as the cottages are spread out over the hillside. We would definitely stay again!

Seeing Skye for the first time
This was a wonderful home base to explore the Isle of Skye. Food was delicious, and the cocktail bar was a nice place to end at night. Our bartender gave the best recommendations for sights to see. She was amazing!

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!

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.

although the view from the hotel was amazing, I found the staff to be gruff and generally unhelpful which is the reason for my poor review. The staff appeared significantly more concerned with their own schedules and comfort versus assisting the guests.

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.

The cosy cabin was clean and quiet located on hill. The main lodge was modern and comfortable. It was about a mile from the small town of Portree. While I did enjoy my stay, I felt it was very overpriced.

Our stay at the Bracken Hide was lovely. The rooms were very comfortable with excellent beds, climate control and fabulous views. The Scottish breakfast was the best we had our entire trip! Those in the family not wanted the heavier fare were quite happy with the croissants, muesli, yogurt, fruit and other offerings.

Clean, quiet, great breakfast. Our pod was very distant from main building. Walking in the rain back and forth was a little inconvenient. Overall, great stay.

Hotel was close enough to walk to the city but distant enough to where you could enjoy the peace. Staff was very nice and helpful with our stay. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was very friendly while they were attending to us. Would recommend to others to stay here.

Skye is a special place and Braken Hide is great. The restaurant is amazing. Incredible breakfast and dinner. Most amazing is the service of the head waiter who is unfailing friendly and efficient. The tiny rooms are actually quite comfy. The shower was outstanding -- great water pressure. Its hard to sit up in bed because of the sloping ceiling, but otherwise very comfy and efficient. Amazing view from the front porch.

We had one of the newer cabins. It’s a little of a hike to all the cabins. The main reception has a chic bar and nice restaurant. Gorgeous view.
The biggest issue, which was significant, was that our room was not ready on arrival after 4:30 pm, and the same on the first day of our stay after a long day out.
Also, quite important, it would be more than a 20-25’ walk to town…which is not what I expected.
