Very highly recommended. Overall, an excellent B&B in the centre of Ambleside with a café and its own bakery. It has a slightly quirky off-beat feel but it is high quality. All the staff were terrific. BUT beware of the being allocated an attic room where there are two low roof beams, a step and low archway from the room front door into the bedroom and a low ceiling as you exit the room to go down the stairs. However, we passed rooms on the lower floors and they looked fabulous. Breakfast in the café next door was enormous with gluten avoiding options and great coffee! The bakery makes excellent bread and cakes, fresh every day. The bath buns are enormous and my non coeliac wife drooled! As the gluten containing products and gluten free products are baked in the same bakery, the café quite correctly informs those of the Coeliac persuasion that while the gluten free products are made with non gluten ingredients, the bakery cannot guarantee that there is no cross contamination with gluten containing products. I had gluten free bread for breakfast and sampled the café’s gluten free falafel wrap and apple pie, all of which were excellent and I had no digestive problems. Those who are very sensitive with the Coeliac allergy might feel the need to avoid these gluten avoiding products. Parking in front of the B&B is limited and difficult to access but there is plenty of designated off-street parking a couple of minutes away.

Great night at lucy's on a plate. The menus are printed daily with a lovely daily notice on the front which i thought was a lovely touch. The food was delicious, great portion sizes and there were lots of gluten free options for my boyfriend. The steak was cooked great and was served with a heaping of garlic butter and peppercorn sauce (the garlic butter is insane) My only downside of the food was the chicken was slightly overcooked but the flavours of the dish and other components were great so balanced it out Staff were on the whole good, welcoming. Knocked a star off because the relaxed environment meant that staff often were talking a lot to the guests and it took a while to get our orders in.

It’s always tricky eating out as a coeliac (gluten allergy), however I really appreciated the effort that the staff went to this evening to rectify a mistake with my order of gluten free food. A whole new meal was cooked and they provided a drink on the house. The food and atmosphere were both great. Thanks team!

The food was absolutely stunning! The presentation was top-notch. 👌 Delicious gluten-free options, as they usually tend to be tasteless. I will definitely come back and bring friends and family because even the meat-eater loved it too! The flavor and meal options were superb!
