I'm darting up in April to walk the WHW for the tenth time (will I get a badge?) to make sure legs still in working order before May and need a bed in F.Wm.

Can anyone recommend a decent B & B near to the station? Perhaps in that row of guesthouses on the road out east - is it Belford Road? Used to stay in the bunkhouse but too old now and the Alex a bit pricey.

I'm not au fait with current b&b pricing but I can't imagine its much less than the Alex. There is a new Travelodge on the ped precinct which might offer a deal at that time of year

I was at the Premier Inn next to the station earlier this month for £29.00 a night...

... breakfast was extra.

I have stayed there lots. Highly recommend it, BUT the prices vary from day to day so check out the dates you want on the website.

Barbara,

My favourite place to stay in Fort William - cheap - is Bank Street Hostel.

It's only a short walk from the station too.

You can get single rooms there - ensuite for £25 upwards. It is clean and tidy. Nice people running it.
