We really enjoyed our holiday at Linton. Keswick town centre is just a few minutes along the road with all it's shops and cafes. There are plenty of walks that you can start from the house, we particularly enjoyed the Keswick to Threlkeld walk along the dissused railway which starts from the park opposite.The house is spacious and well equipped. The lounge on the middle floor had views of the park and mountains in the distance.There is also a dedicated parking space, which is unusual for houses this close to the middle of Keswick.We would definitely recommend Linton as a great base for a holiday.

I can thoroughly recommend Linton. It is a beautiful and comfortable home with good beds and a lovely shower. The kitchen has everything you can think of in terms of crockery, cutlery and baking items (and several cafetières for the coffee lovers like myself who like to know the coffee making facilities). As mentioned in some of the other reviews it would be great if the bathroom with the bath could have a shower curtain added as currently everybody has to use the shower in the top floor bathroom. There were also not enough hand towels for all the toilets but I was forewarned and had brought those. These are however just minor little things. The house overall is delightful, with a lovely view over the park and just a few minutes' walk to the town centre and the lake. The parking space right by the backgarden gate is also a real plus. We will definitely be back.
