Organising a WHW trip at the end of April, looking to spend the last night in Fort Bill- looked through lots of different websites but can't find any that would cater for cyclists. Will be having a few beverages on the last night to celebrate so a place to lock our bikes up would be nice. Near the town centre would be good too as we'll be getting the train back to Glasgow.

Anyone got any suggestions or recommendations? Apart from google it, have tried that already.

Ta in advance.

I always stay at Torlinnhe- lovely place, good people- fantastic breakfast, I ate so much last time I was almost sick at the start of the race 😛 It's right on the south edge of town but nothing in fort william is very far from the station, unless you go out towards Corpach.

Al we stayed here after the WHW, cant recommend it highly enough. Also a secure garage to keep the bikes in. Only 2 min walk from centre of town. If you want any more info email in profile.

Oh yeah, bikefriendliness- last time I had the bike in the car, but first time, they were happy to have me lock the bike in their garage. It wasn't that secure tbh, but well out of sight, barky dog watching over it, and tbf it's the edge of fort william, if I wanted to nick a bike at the fort I'd just grab one from beside the cafe at nevis as there's always tons of bikes lying around unattended there!

Ta for the suggestions- ended up just booking the west end hotel.. They have a triple room for a good price, location is great, reviews say breakfast is good and they have a garage where we can lock the bikes..
Getting excited now!!

In that case cross the road to the Lime Tree for your dinner.
