WHW accommodation highs and lows

For those who are about to embark on the way using budget accommodation we've decided to give you our favourites- Lesley first- from best to worst. In all honesty, none of the were horrendous, every night we were dry and mostly warm. Let's be even more honest- we were so exhausted every night that I think we could have slept anywhere!!

Lesley's favourites
1. Rowardenan youth hostel: stunning building, beautiful location, comfortable beds, evening meal and Fab breakfast available.
2. Tyndrum By The Way camping cabin: exceptionally clean, very friendly and welcoming owners, proper beds, peaceful and quiet.
3. Hobbits at Blackwater hostel: brand new, equipped with tv, fridge, microwave in each hobbit. A bit too small.
4. Bank street lodge Fort William: warm welcome and end of walk both exhausted!
5. Bridge of Orchy Hotel Bunkhouse: clean and fresh, beds a bit narrow.
6. Easter Drumquhassie farm wigwam, Drymen: smelly, cold, unfriendly welcome inadequate cooking/kitchen facilities.
7. Bein Glas wigwams, Inverarnan: mattress on floor, inadequate heater. On the plus side great showers, Fab pub and food on site.

Fiona's favourites
1. Hobbit at Blackwater hostel: brand new, very well equipped, cosy, Callum was extremely welcoming, lovely toilets and showers.
2. Bank Street Lodge Fort William: great welcome, fantastic shower, very well equipped kitchen, Italian restaurant below!
3. Bridge of Orchy hotel Bunkhouse: clean, comfortable beds, lovely kitchen/common room area albeit a bit small.
4. Tyndrum By The Way: proper beds, lovely helpful owners, right on the way, excellent drying room!
5. Rowardenan youth hostel: this Would have been number 1 for all the reasons Lesley said, however a good night sleep is essential- doors banging till 11.30 then again at 6am is not conducive to a good night! Ear plugs Would have made it perfect.
6. Bein Glas farm wigwams: dry, clean, not smelly! Great food!
7. Easter Drumquhassie wigwams: SMELLY!

Hope this helps with your planning!!
