The Linton is a beautiful home and the layout and location is fantastic. It is ideal for a stay in Keswick and on this we would book again.However, we would have to say this is most unclean property we have stayed in. The grill was so filthy we never used it. I had to wash the baking trays before using them. The two top bedrooms had dirty sheets, the king size was the worst with blood on the pillow case and a totally unknown large brown stain on the other and when we asked for fresh sheets these were also dirty and had stains on them. The dinning table and place mats had food residue all over them and the middle bedroom had dirty tissues shoved under the bed.The house needs a really good once over and some new sheets. The Linton is a beautiful home but just needs a really good clean throughout.
