I haven't stayed in FW for a while so I was after some recent experience from the knowledgeable UKC collective before I scour Trip Advisor. Not looking for bargain basement but a good value B&B in FW. Somewhere with good scoff, roaring fires and real ale would be high on my list. Any top recommends?
I recently stayed at myrtle bank B&B which is on the main road in to town. It was a really good room and a quality breakfast which they did at 7am for me so I could get out climbing. Also did me a packed lunch for the day and a hot flask! Two nights, two fry ups and two packed lunches for £80. Personally I think that's spot on. Who wants a flee pit after a mammoth day in the mountains!
In reply to Johnny_Grunwald: aonghas grant's B&b in fort William is fantastic. Very lovely people he and his wife, and of course his wonderful music adds to the charm. Can't for the life of me remember what their B&b is called now though (its been a few years). Anyone help? Tom.
In reply to thommi: Guisachan B&B in the town centre seems to be a good one. They do an early breakfast, will dry your kit for you and it is less than a 5 min walk to the high st for drinks and food. Not stayed there myself, I have just picked up lots of happy guests from there.
In reply to stoneback: A plus one for the Myrtle Bank. Excellent breakfasts and very clean.
There was a bit of negative in that they wanted to put me in the single ground floor room complete with the drumming of the hotels central heating system or something. They did move me on request but they weren't happy!!!
Can't remember but there's one up the hill ran by an elderly lady (Sadie I think). Basic and cheap, breakfast is just cereal. However you go just to meet Sadie, she's brilliant! A rwal experience.

If you don't mind driving a few minutes, there is an amazing (but not cheap) B&B in Spean Bridge: www.speanlodge.co.uk
Stayed there over New Year, rooms are great,the breakfast is really good and they have a guest lounge with a fireplace!
