A rare case of a holiday cottage where the reality exceeded expectations. Lots of thoughtful touches, very comfortable and bags of character. Very well situated close to the town centre. The only minor niggle was the lack of dessert spoons in the cutlery drawer (odd because there were huge numbers of knives and forks!). No complaints otherwise.

Fantastic accommodation just a stroll from Keswick town centre and overlooking Fitz park. Very nicely decorated with a cozy feel. I would definitely stay here again.

Linton is a fabulous, well equipped house in a great location with views over the river Greta and Fitz park. A real bonus is the parking at the rear of the house. There is on street parking in nearby streets but it's not often there are spaces especially at the weekend. There are double yellow lines at the front of the houseWe arrived accompanied by storm Amy! The river was very swollen but there is a high wall between the road and the river. On entering the property there was a flood in the rear of the kitchen. The dishwasher had been left on and was malfunctioning. We phoned cottages.com, after mopping the water up. They dealt with it very well and a maintenance engineer arrived within 2 hours. The dishwasher was written off and it was disconnected. We never use a dishwasher so it didn't concern us however it was replaced during our stay. An excellent service from cottages.com.We really enjoyed our stay and Keswick itself never disappoints. The only niggle we had was the mattress on the double bed which was very firm. We have a memory foam mattress so found it uncomfortable however this is a personal thing and I'm sure others will prefer a firm mattress.There is a pub attached to Linton but during our stay we never heard anything from the pub at all.We would recommend Linton as it has everything you could possibly need as a base for your Lake District holiday.
