What we've verified
The Caledonian Canal towpath and the lock staircase are a two minute walk, the Great Glen Way runs straight through Fort Augustus, and the Loch Ness shore is minutes from the door.
Dogs go in the Garden Rooms or the first floor Deluxe Rooms, and not in the Station Road restaurant or the green lounge.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Two room types take dogs. The Garden Rooms sit in their own quarters next to the main hotel, each with a private wooden enclosure outside for the dog. The Deluxe Rooms are on the first floor of the main building for people who want to be inside the hotel. Dogs are welcome in and around the grounds. The Station Road restaurant and the green lounge are people only. Pick the dog-friendly room type when you book.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
