The stunning Georgian home rated Leeds' most romantic place to stay

A famous doctor's former home is the 'most romantic' place for a Valentine's break.

That's according to rental insurance website Duuo which rated Airbnbs which were available for stays in February.

The Heaton at Claremont House, Clarendon Road, Hyde Park, was one of 15 UK apartments 'handpicked' by Duuo.

The one-bedroom apartment is: "As elegant as the Yorkshire rose itself, this deluxe apartment in the city centre of Leeds [sic] is a luxury treat for couples looking to relax in style this Valentine’s season.

"Decked out with no expense spared, this Georgian villa offers a rich, but characterful interior, perfect for hosting a romantic city break."

The 57 sq m flat, five minutes' walk from Leeds city centre, scores 9.1 out of 10 on Booking.com.

Grade II-listed Claremont House, built in the late 18th century, was the home of eminent physician Dr John Deakin Heaton.

One of Leeds' leading GPs in the mid-19th century, Heaton taught at Leeds Medical School, now part of the University of Leeds.

He worked as a doctor at Leeds General Infirmary and as a justice of the peace. He also held numerous prestigious public offices and was a major mover behind the building of Leeds Town Hall.
