Beautiful design, great breakfasts, friendly staff, great views! I loved the little cabins all spaced apart from one another.

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.

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.

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.

Overall the cabin is very nice with great views. The food is amazing.
There are a few little things that were missed, that would've made the place exquisite. After check-in, we found an empty bottle of body wash and almost empty shampoo bottle. We got a half-empty bottle from the front desk that was never replaced during the 3 nights stay.
The walk to the top cabin was long and steep.
There are not enough instructions in the room or available at the desk for opertaing the heat/AC and the in-room safe.

Not 4 Star. Way too expensive. Pathways to pods, rocky and uneven. Breakfast, can't think of one that was worse. Plus, Staff were friendly and helpfull.

Our room, cabin, was all the way on top of hill and we had to walk up a gravel road to get there. We were not aware of that, I had knee problem and could not walk up. They gave us instead the smallest cabin with no space to move or store anything and the install shower would not drain.

It’s a long walk from car to your chalet. The staff will take luggage up but not you. Hot old pretty quickly. Skye is a pricey market but no way this place is worth the cost.
Restaurant and staff are great. The town is not very nice.

I had an absolutely wonderful time here. The staff at the front desk was so helpful, and so quick to address any question or concern. My meals were excellent as was the service in the dining room and bar. The Sauna/cold plunge experience was exceptional and the coziness of my cabin cannot be paralleled. I cannot speak more highly of this experience, book it!
