Located in-between Glen Affric and Glen Strathfarrar, the finest remaining stands of pristine Caledonian pine-forest wilderness, Eagle Brae is a luxury self-catering log village resort powered by renewables. Genuine hand-crafted log cabins made from colossal cedar logs and topped with wild-flower green roofs. There are no machine cut logs and no two logs the same: every cabin is a unique handmade work of log art. The cabin interiors feature hand-carved decorative wood carvings from the Himalayas, custom made hardwood furniture and kitchens, hand woven tweed curtains and cotton rugs, and every modern appliance and amenity you could need, including a smart TV, dvd blueray, stereo and a pc and printer in every cabin. Eagle Brae exclusively offers its online concierge service where guests can order wines, prepared meals, meats and groceries delivered direct to their cabin: a unique new brand of 'catered' self-catering in spectacular log cabins.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
Stayed at the Eagle Brae 4th-6th January with my wife and our 2 dogs in the Certhia cabin which is the newest build.
What can I say? First impression was it looks very eco with the grass roof, the outside looks of the building has weathered but just blends into this beautiful setting.
As you where guided through the cabin with Mike who showed you around and showed you how everything worked my wife and I just walked around open mouthed wow! It was beyond our dreams and all the special touches just made it pure luxury. The open plan living area with log stove fire was so cosy we could have stayed here forever. The views down the Strathglass valley from the cabin absolutely stunning. There was nothing you wanted to self cater here, the cabin was very well equipped. The downstairs bedroom was wow, the view from the king size bed down the Strathglass valley during sunrise was out of this world. To open the double doors onto the veranda and breath the morning fresh air was shear bliss. The bathroom, shower and sauna where luxurious. The upstairs we didn’t use but 2 further beds and sitting area top class. The carvings in the wood and the shear size of the logs (trees) used to build this place is mind blowing. I don’t think you’ll ever stay in such a place in the uk, this is unique. You are tempted just to stay in the cabin and just relax but this is a great area for walks, Glen Affric a short drive from Eagle Brae, don’t miss this. Would like thank Mike, Pawana and staff for our wonderful stay, we will be back.

My wife and I stayed at Eagle Brae for 3 nights at the beginning of January. Even before out stay, we were impressed by the customer service - no request is too big. The Eagle Brae team are responsive when contacted and super helpful.
Our stay was amazing - the photos and videos simply can't do justice to the location itself. Our cabin was beyond belief and fully equipped, warm and cosy, and overall just wonderful. The location itself is secluded, far enough away from civilisation that you can't hear any of the usual traffic noises etc.
The welcome basket of local treats was a nice touch too.
We didn't need to take advantage of the concierge service (they'll go and do grocery shopping for you basically) but if we had stayed longer we probably would have - the nearest "corner shop" is a good 10 minute drive away and anything larger is further than that.

Eagle Brae has been on our TO DO list for some years now but as always life got in the road, but we eventually managed it (May 2021), despite COVID.
We were certainly not disappointed, on the contrary, it exceeded our expectations.
These are 'genuine' log cabins with a all the modern conveniences you come to expect in a high end accommodation. The staff could not be more helpful and cater for your every need, whether it be information relating to the surrounding area or supplying delicious home cooked meals.
The seclusion, silence and views are breathtaking with the added bonus of wildlife outside your cabin such as deer, foxes, birds etc., what a marvellous escape from everyday life.
The cabins are spotlessly clean and fully equipped including dishwasher, PC, music, WiFi, TV etc.completely self contained. A very detailed information pack and a lovely welcome basket of goodies were also made available.
We were staying in one of the smaller cabins (Sylvia), which was very spacious and has the South facing porch which was utilised morning and evening.
The cabins are fully cleaned and sanitised prior to letting with meticulous attention to detail, with a request to identify any items handled during your stay so that they can be specifically cleaned.
Cannot fault this place, and highly recommended.

Location - total tranquility in Nature and indeed the deer come and graze by the cabins
Accommodation is of Luxury quality. Self catering but where basics items such as salt pepper oil foil paper washing up liquid etc as well as shampoo conditioner soap are provided - big thumbs up for this
The magic of EagleBrae is in the aura of the log cabins and surrounding nature. You step away from your routine life into serenity because everything is gently perfect. The log cabins are solid, making you feel protected and nurtured, and everywhere inside and outside there is an abundance of details that you discover little by little because nothing is crying out for attention, everything is quietly where it belongs. Each wood carving, each rug, each item has a personal story to tell
Mike and Pawama have an online service where you can pre order groceries before your arrival and as well as delicious home made meals - another big thumbs up
We definitely found perfection and have already booked our next stay

We’ve just got home after a fantastic stay at Eagle Brae in Strix. What can I say that hasn’t been said before?! It’s fantastic, we didn’t want to leave!! The attention to detail is amazing, the log cabins are clean, luxurious and very well equipped and we were made to feel especially safe through the current pandemic with additional measures in place. The welcome pack is a wonderful surprise (sorry I may have spoiled this for future guests). The views are spectacular and it was wonderful waking up to deer grazing outside our cabin. We are currently planning our next visit and we will be staying longer. The only slight downside was that we didn’t meet Mike & Pawana in person (due to COVID measures) to say thank you, hopefully next time.

Arrived Friday 2nd October for a 3 night stay during a time of Covid restrictions. There is plenty to do in a beautiful area of Scotland but unfortunately the weather did not allow us to take advantage of the many activities available.
With a six year old Grandson it is perhaps testament to the quality of accommodation that he like the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt annoyed that he had to leave early for school on the Monday. He keeps telling us we owe him a day!
The owners Mike & Pawana are on hand each day and should any problems arise I feel certain would be quickly resolved.
The Log Cabins are of the highest quality and with the surrounding wildlife to enjoy I would have no reservations in recommending a stay.

This was our second visit to Eagle Brae, it's the only time we have ever returned to the same place twice, not because other holidays were bad but because Eagle Brae is SO fantastic, it was worth another visit. This time we stayed in Sylvia, it was brilliant for watching the wildlife, including deer, which come right up to the veranda, and a plethora of birds, woodpeckers, bluetits and many more. The cabin was cleaned to an exceptionally high standard, not a speck of dust or a cobweb in sight. We ordered from the concierge service for out food, very good quality and reasonably priced too. I can recommend the sausage casserole, and the venison curry. I think we may even return a third time in the next few years.

After a long drive we were absolute thrilled with Aquila, our Lodge at Eagle Brae. Firstly, the views were stunning and the landscape was everything we expected and more of the Highlands. The lodge was spacious and extremely well equipped and lovely and warm and comfortable. There were so many special and thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack of Scottish goodies. The beds were very comfortable with beautiful linen and lovely fluffy towels. The bathrooms were spacious and having underfloor heating was a real treat. If you felt a chill then the log burner powered out plenty of heat.
The WI-FI was good and there were plenty of channels on the TV, although there were lots of very interesting books to read in the Lodge too. One of the great things that Mike and Pawana offer is the concierge service whereby you could pre order groceries , wines and spirits and the most scrumptious home made meals made by Pawana. We recommend the Shepherds Pie!
Because of Covid, the local pub wasn’t open, however you could order and collect a takeaway from a local hotel. Beauly is a pretty town about 20 minutes away and there are some nice shops there. We visited to enjoy the scenery and to see the Lochs, there is so much to see within a small radius of Eagle Brae. It is lovely an quiet at Eagle Brae and we hardly saw anyone during our weeks stay, it’s a lively place to relax, take in the scenery and enjoy the luxury that the Lodges offer. Mike and Pawana and the staff were very attentive and pay so much attention to the detail. We loved it so much that we are returning in 2022.

This was our third visit to Eagle Brae. We love the tranquil , beautiful , peaceful surroundings. The log cabins are absolutly fantasic, cosy, comfortable and very difficult to leave! We loved sitting enjoying the view from the covered deck, taking long walks in the meadow and then coming back for a sauna, perfect! The process from booking, checking in to checking out is seamless, Mike, Pawana and Ian are available if you need anything but also respect your privacy. We have found a place that we can truly relax and unwind in the most luxiourious and peaceful surroundings. We would highly recommend and can't wait to return - Dave and Von

Spent an idyllic week at Eagle Brae. We were two families and two dogs staying in the Loxia and Aquila log cabins, which had everything and more that you could wish for. The cabins were spotless. The team were on hand should you wish to book any of the activities, have a chat about what was on offer locally or just past the time of day. Great food from the concierge service, lovely welcome hamper, complimentary toiletries etc. The location is stunning, with abundant wildlife including deer, guinea fowl and sparrow hawks. The week ended all too quickly. We hope to return before too long and enjoy more of the delights of the wonderful Eagle brae.

Hi, you won't be disappointed. It is pure luxury for a log cabin. The owners and their team are so helpful also.
As above - contact directly. Website easy. However very popular and xmas is usually booked up months before.
I would suggest checking on the Eagle Brae website for availability on your dates. As accommodation is limited, it's best to do this. As tariffs vary depending on time-of-year, this will give you an accurate picture. They also give a discount on the larger lodges/cabins for low occupancy. Hope this helps. Great choice for a vacation.
The pubs in Cannich and Tomich are both dog friendly. The Cannich pub doesn't look much from outside but they have several dogs, are very friendly and the food and beer were good. At Tomich we sat in the garden but were invited into the bar if we wanted.
On the site itself you can walk up the hill at the back to the Loch (very steep) or cross the road by the entrance into the water meadows and walk round the fields and down to the river, watching out for the sheep. Had some lovely early morning walks down by the river.
Elsewhere lots of walking within a few miles - Plodda falls was good apart from the road, dog falls and Glen Affric also good.
Just through Struy there is Glen Strathfarrar - a beautiful drive and there is a good walk from the entrance.
In Inverness there is a lovely walk down the riverside from the town heading inland, some nice hotels along the river side for lunch where you can sit outside. You can extend this walk to come back along the canal if you walk a longer walk.
As said in another reply the place is so nice we were more than happy to eat on site (which we don't normally do when on holiday). The food prepared by Mike and Pawana is excellent.
"Only a cafetière for espresso machine coffee lovers. Very remote. Five mile round trip to the local pub/hotel and closed during winter. "Read full review
