In the heart of the Highlands, this apartment is perfect for a retreat. Housed in a converted Benedictine monastery, you’ll be surrounded by 20 acres of gardens on the shores of Loch Ness. The home exudes Scottish hunting lodge vibes, with brown leather sofas and antler chandeliers in the living room, and tartan prints in the bedrooms. Spend memorable days exploring the lush outdoors – there’s a shared tennis court, communal swimming pool, orchard, cricket pitch, an adventure playground for kids, and even a life-sized chess set. Though it's all shared with other guests, that doesn't put a damper on the fun. And in the evenings play some billiards in the communal games room, where velvet purple furnishings and tall stained-glass windows make for a downright royal space.
