Sleeps 4 - 6

Welcome to Aquila at Eagle Brae  

Aquila at Eagle Brae represents the pinnacle of dog-friendly, luxury self-catering accommodation in the Scottish Highlands. Perched on the edge of a dramatic, steep face, this cabin commands the most breathtaking views at Eagle Brae. From your private balcony, you’ll enjoy a dazzling vista of Strathglass and the sweeping glen below, with uninterrupted panoramas stretching for miles. This cabin blends beautifully into the rugged landscape, offering a sanctuary where nature and opulence coexist. And whether you seek a family retreat or a sophisticated base for adventure, Aquila provides the perfect setting. It’s the most spectacular home-from-home you will experience for luxury self-catering accommodation.

The interior design of Aquila reflects the raw beauty of Northern Scotland. An enormous chandelier, crafted from naturally shed antlers, hangs proudly in the vaulted ceiling. In addition, bright cotton rugs, specially woven for Eagle Brae in the Himalayas, add artisanal warmth to the cedar floors. Intricate Himalayan wood carvings, handcrafted in host Pawana’s home village, are etched directly into the logs. Thus creating a space both personal and globally inspired. And because we believe in total comfort, every corner features high-end essentials, and the open-plan layout helps your group socialise while soaking in views through floor-to-ceiling windows. All in all, Aquila is a space to inspire and relax in equal measure. We’re also dog-friendly, and as with all ten cabins at Eagle Brae, your entire family is welcome to join the adventure.

The name Aquila means golden eagle in Latin, a fitting tribute to the monarchs of the sky. Interestingly, five known golden eagle eyries sit within 20 miles of our unique location. So, if you keep a watchful eye on the skies, you may spot these magnificent birds of prey soaring above the ridges. Red deer, pine martens, and red squirrels are also regularly seen across the estate. It’s this connection to the wild that defines Eagle Brae’s luxury self-catering accommodation.

Aquila Log Cabin Features

When searching for log cabin breaks UK, guests look for authenticity and modern convenience. Aquila delivers both in abundance. As such, every log in the cabin was hand-carved by Pioneer Log Homes before being reassembled by hand on our Highland hillside. This bespoke process creates a texture and scent that modern, machined buildings cannot compare to. The deep grains of the western red cedar also provide natural insulation, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. All in all, Aquila at Eagle Brae is the epitome of log cabin breaks in the UK, with luxury at its most authentic and refined.

These carvings depict local wildlife and motifs, turning the cabin itself into a gallery of Highland culture and Himalayan heritage. Moreover, we prioritise sustainability in everything we do, and our eco-friendly approach means your stay has a minimal footprint. Heating and hot water are supplied by a central biomass system, and electricity is generated through micro-hydro and solar power.

It allows you to disconnect from digital noise and reconnect with what matters. And whether reading by the fire or watching the sunset over Strathglass, Aquila at Eagle Brae is the perfect backdrop.
