Great location and spotless suite. A shame the spa bath wasn’t working as this was one of the reasons I booked the room (having just climbed Ben Nevis) and there was lots of noise in the foyer early morning- the walls / ceiling are thin so noise travels. To be fair I used some of the free ear plugs provided and these helped! Lots of positives though - plenty of parking, thoughtful touches including fresh coffee and comfy seating area in the suite. Spotlessly clean and easy check in and out.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maclean Guest House. We were able to easily walk there from the train station and to then walk to the downtown area where all the shops, cafes, etc were located. The room was quite large and exceptionally clean. It had everything we needed and then some! We highly recommend this place and would stay here again without hesitation.

Kind hosts but cannot recommend

The owners of the guest house were very kind and tried hard to make things right for us, but this stay just wasn’t for us. The building itself is very loud with creaks, water dripping, and once people move about, you can hear every footstep. It’s also on a main road through town where people drive faster than I expected and there’s near constant traffic. There’s no A/C so if you open the windows, there’s the constant road noise and the risk of midges as there are no screens. They provide earplugs which is kind but wasn’t enough for this light sleeper. After a cold, rainy day, we came back to find the hot water wasn’t working in our room. They did their best to help and make it right but it was rough to not be able to take a hot shower. I recommend staying near High Street, off Belford Road. Or stay elsewhere as there isn’t much going on in Fort William - even the locals said most folks stay in Oban. I will say that the room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable!

The Maclean Guest House was in a very convenient spot within Fort William. It was an easy walk to get to the main commercial street, yet far enough away to have easy parking. The facilities were very nice. The only negative is that the hot water in the showers did not work for more than one minute in either room my group booked.

This was a nice place to stay and the staff was very helpful. We enjoyed the walk to shopping and food/drink. Ear plugs were necessary for the light sleeper as the road noise at the front of the facility was on a busy street. Would do it again.

This property is on the main road and there’s a hospital close by so it can be a bit noisy but only during the day. It is very conveniently located close (short walking distance) to dining, shopping and the grocery store. Our Luxury Suite room was huge and luxurious. There was a fridge and kettle and a French press and oat milk in convenient packets. (They came in and cleaned it while we were out.) There was a shower and bathtub (which I’ll use next time). Brandy was friendly and gave us an excellent dinner recommendation. (We got lucky to get a seat.) We parked in the back and could leave through the fire door (if only we hadn’t left our charging cord behind!). Ben Nevis is just a short drive away so this was a perfect place to stay.
