#HIDE MY BAR IPHONE 8 PLUS#
There is a mezzanine snug above the dining room, with a 100in TV and two retro arcade games machines - a real plus for families once 18 family cabins are added in summer 2024.
The Bracken Hide’s aspen sauna huts and plunge pool offer a place to relax after a day’s hiking What else does it offer? Cooked breakfasts were decent, although mysteriously unavailable on the second morning, when only continental was on offer. A fillet of Highland beef with chicken liver pâté (£32) was meltingly tender. Interesting vegetarian offerings include a goat’s cheese and pistachio mousse starter, wrapped in nori seaweed with beetroot textures (£9.95). Food is expertly cooked, with regional produce aplenty and just enough presentational flair. The chef George Fraser and his largely local, super-friendly waiting team would have to go some to stuff it up here - and they very much don’t. The dining room is a Mad Men-chic medley of crushed velvet benches and mid-century chairs, the space flooded with shifting coastal light. Sit and watch the world (and the sheep) go by on the decking outside the Bracken Hide pods Food and drink But where to sit on rainy days? “Guests tend to mingle in the hub,” says Karen Augier, the infectiously friendly manager. On endless summer nights, midges permitting, there will be few finer places to sip a wee dram than on the decking out front, with views across the water to Raasay, sheep grazing between pods and cuckoos calling from the neighbouring woods. Children under 12 can sleep on folding beds, and the Harris Tweed headboards and fired pine barrel ceilings are nice design details. The glamping pods at the Bracken Hide feature Harris Tweed headboards and fired pine barrel ceilings Rooms and suitesĭotted about the 52-acre hillside site, the 45 pods lack the hub’s ambition, but still have charm.

Main photo: the central hub at the Bracken Hide hotel A sophisticated range of cocktails mixed by the barman Chance Hollings is already a hit with locals, who add a dash of craic. Low-lit, with burnt larch and brushed brass walls, it has a sunken barman’s pit and a quietly seductive Ibiza jazz playlist. It’s hard to think of a more striking building north of Holyrood. The owners, the Chelsea estate agents Charlie and Miranda Garton-Jones, know about high-end property and it shows.

It has asymmetric barrel-vaulted ceilings and 3.5m high windows overlooking Portree and the sea.
A modern take on a traditional Skye black house, the stone and glass building rises from the hillside like a Flintstones meets Norman Foster bothy. So far, so bog-standard glampsite - except for that central hub. The Bracken Hide stands high above Portree, halfway up Skye’s east coast, and has 45 en suite glamping pods and a central hub housing a bar, restaurant and lounge. It’s taken six years and £8 million to build, so it’s little wonder that this was Scotland’s most hotly anticipated opening in 2023.
