We loved our stay at the Bracken Hide! The cottages/huts were modern facilities, yet so charming and comfortable. You do have to be able to walk up a hill to get to your cottage, but there is a porter who takes your bags up and down for you. We loved the restaurant. Our dinner there the first night was spectacular, probably the best salmon we've ever had and the breakfast was truly extraordinary in presentation and taste. The staff was so kind, generous and informative. They gave great suggestions and went out of their way to make sure we felt taken care of. We highly recommend staying at the Brecken Hide!

Great place
We visited from Ohio, USA. We loved this location. The individual rooms were small but tidy. The bed was really comfortable and warm. Meals at the lodge were wonderful and the view was amazing! Highly recommend!

Beautiful views, fantastic restaurant. While the walk up the hill to our cabin was a bit much, the view, the quiet, and the uniqueness of it all more than made up for it. We had a fantastic time.

The cabins are very nice but are a bit of a walk to the lodge, especially in the rain. Overall it was a great experience.

Very unique little pods overlooking beautiful rolling hills and the harbour. Full streaming services and excellent onsite restaurant. Clean and cozy. Also, lovely staff, especially Shannon, our server. Lots of tea, coffee, and treats that were complimentary. My only complaint was that the water for the shower could have been hotter. The water both days was not hot enough. Other than that the place was perfect.

It’s a gem in the heart of the Island of Skye. Close to nature, yet with all modern comfort. The units have heated floors, and a glass door allowing to enjoy the view on Porters and the sea. The restaurant offers gourmet food, locally sourced. Highly recommend

What a great stay! The pods are awesome albeit a little tight for two and two suitcases! The lodge bar was brilliant, breakfast and dinner was awesome and the staff was second to none. Loved every minute of it.

Unique rooms that are private, clean and comfortable. Staff is extremely helpful. Breakfast was awesome. Only drawback is the gravel paths to the rooms which can leave one vulnerable to the climate when the weather is not nice.

Beautiful getaway on Isle of Skye
This is a great hotel located on the hillside above Portree. The cost of the best view (in addition to room charges) is a very long walk up the hill. The facilities are very nice. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Food and drink are excellent. Breakfast is included and tasty.

The cabins were pristine, as was the property. Views were wonderful. The breakfasts were amazing. Give the Full Scottish breakfast a try. My only wish: a shuttle service up to the cabins, after a whisky flight in the Bracken Hide Pup, the top tier walk is a wee bit much, a real gaser!

Lovely pods!
We stayed in a log cabin 'pod' which was lovely. Comfortable and clean. The main hotel part was where we went for breakfast (which was excellent). We had to walk from the car park up the hill to our pod but they took our bags up by golf buggy. The view was fantastic. It was a 20 minute walk onto town (but we could have driven and parked in town).

Magical
This is one of the most beautiful properties I have ever seen. Paul, our server was so attentive and made us feel at home. The hike up to the cabin can be a lot, but the views are totally worth it. It's the only place I want to stay if I ever return.
