In the heart of the Highlands, this luxe apartment is perfect for a couples’ retreat. Housed in a converted Benedictine monastery, you’ll be surrounded by 20 acres of private gardens on the shores of Loch Ness. The home has Scottish hunting lodge vibes throughout, with brown leather sofas and antler chandeliers in the living room, and chic tartan prints in the bedrooms. Spend memorable days exploring the lush outdoors – there’s a shared tennis court, swimming pool, orchard, cricket pitch, an adventure playground for kids and even a life-sized chess set. 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.
