Spa Botanica

Right in the heart of Leamington Spa, this period apartment has been styled to perfection by a host who clearly cares about this space. With its own front door, it's on the ground floor and boasts high ceilings and tall sash windows. But the most striking thing about this luxurious home has to be the curated art (much of it picked up during the host's travels in Asia and North Africa), collections of books and the vast array of house plants. There's a contemporary kitchen and a designer dining table to eat, drink and be merry together, as well as two comfy bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Just a few minutes walk from the High Street, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to bars, restaurants and pubs nearby, and by day you can explore the town's pretty Regency streets, award-winning parks and independent shopping scene.

Home truths:
*A parking permit will be supplied for the street just outside
*In the heart of the town, the road is surprisingly quiet
*Although this is a flat, you'll have your own front door
*This home does not have air conditioning
*The kitchen is lacking some basic crockery
