Scottish Highlands Accommodation at Its Finest: Loxia at Eagle Brae

Loxia is one of Eagle Brae’s most beloved large log cabins in Scotland. Hidden amongst birch trees and overlooking its own private pond, it offers a level of seclusion and natural beauty that is rare in luxury accommodation. It also sleeps four to six guests, welcomes dogs, and suits groups who want the wild Highlands outside the door.

As if all of this wasn’t enough, from the deck, views stretch across the water towards the hills above Erchless Castle. That’s why our guests call Loxia Scottish Highlands accommodation that stays with you long after you leave.

The name Loxia refers to the Scottish crossbill. This is the only bird species endemic to the UK and is found exclusively in the ancient pinewoods of the Scottish Highlands. So, by staying here, you place yourself at the heart of its natural habitat. Red deer also wander past the cabin regularly to drink from the pond.

Wildlife enthusiasts visit Eagle Brae specifically for encounters like these, and Loxia offers a front-row seat without ever leaving your cabin.

Large Log Cabin Layout Built for Groups

Loxia sleeps up to six guests across a thoughtful, flexible layout. Two generous double or twin rooms sit on the ground floor, and two single character log beds occupy the mezzanine.

The latter is into the wall with the kind of cosy, den-like feel that children love. As a result, Loxia works beautifully for families seeking Highland breaks in Scotland. It also works fantastically for groups of friends wanting a shared retreat.

The open-plan living space brings everyone together, too, with the pond and hills visible from almost every angle. An extraordinary chandelier crafted from naturally shed antlers also hangs as the centrepiece of the room.

Every beam, every log, and every carved detail reflects the skill of the master builders who constructed this cabin entirely by hand. As a result, you are not simply renting a room. You’re staying inside a work of art.

Handcrafted Design and Sustainable Highland Comfort

Every cabin at Eagle Brae begins with giant western red cedar logs sourced from Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia. These were shipped across the Atlantic and reassembled entirely by hand on the Highland hillside. 

Intricate hand-carved panels depicting Highland wildlife, Celtic knot work, and Himalayan heritage run throughout the interior. You’ll also discover hand-woven tweed curtains and custom hardwood furniture. Furthermore, Eagle Brae runs entirely on renewable energy. Micro-hydro power and biomass boilers supply electricity, heating, and hot water, while the massive cedar logs provide natural insulation year-round. Your log cabin holiday in the Highlands, therefore, comes with a clear conscience.

Pet-Friendly Accommodation in the Scottish Highlands

Loxia is fully dog-friendly, as are all ten cabins across Eagle Brae. It is actually one of the most welcoming options for pet-friendly accommodation in Scotland that also delivers a 5-star experience.

What’s more, forest tracks, heather paths, and open hillside begin directly from the cabin door, so there’s no need to drive to find a great walk. And after a day out, dogs can stretch out beside the log-burning stove while guests relax on the deck.

This is because, at Eagle Brae, dogs are not merely tolerated. They are welcomed as part of the family. And this inclusive atmosphere is a big part of why so many guests return to Loxia for Highland breaks year after year.
