Bracken Hide Hotel.

The Bracken Hide hotel is one of the most unique hotels we have stayed at. The location was walking distance to Portree. The restaurant and bar had great views and staff very friendly and helpful. An area to improve is communication from the pods to the reception. After cleaning our room they did not leave us towels. We tried to contact the front desk by calling with iur cell phone around 9:00pm and no one answered. We had ti use the bath robe in our room to dry off after showering. The best part of the hotel is the privacy, but if it is raining it can be very challenging getting to and from the lobby and restaurant. The morning of check-out was a little challenging for us with rain. But we knew that going in.

Staff are incredibly nice and helpful! The breakfast that’s included is delicious and has lots of variety. Only a 20 min walk from Portree City Centre so the hotel isn’t too far out! I loved my little cabin and would stay here again.

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.

The cabins were unique and nice inside, heated washroom floor was nice, AC was great and beds decent - the layout was something to be desired as the paths up to the cabins walk in front of your front and only window so everyone can see in, a bit annoying, and nobody made the beds for second night or cleaned the cabin (for the price we paid this seems odd). But the big letdown was the restaurant, it was laid out nice and the bar was great / good selection and service, but the food was not good at all - for a place aiming for a high bar and acting like a 4 star resort it was truly awful - both mine and my wife’s meal was terrible, she could t even finish it. Next morning we said we’d just grab a coffee, but as breakfast was included we thought we’d give another go - mistake! Old fruit and pastries given, I had eggs Benedict that looked like the hollandaise came from a package and my wife got sick from the eggs - our fault for giving it a second chance I guess, but it just proved it wasn’t a mistake.

The good- location, yurts were nice, cool experience staying on the side of a hill in Scotland. The bad- Restaurant was closed without notice. The bar was closed without notice. No golf cart available. Fine for me but we had family in their 70s and it's a tough walk up hill in gravel with luggage. Spa wasn't working. Confusion on check in with how many rooms were booked. Overall- cool place, cool experience. Should be ablut half price with all they amenities unavailable.

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!

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!
