Overall a great, unique place to stay in stunning scenery near the lovely thriving town of Crickhowell. The Glanusk estate itself is largely a mix of private working and residential areas so not as good or clear-cut for walking through as we hoped, although it is well maintained.While dog friendly, there was a lack of food/water bowls and outside waste bins - Crickhowell itself is very dog friendly.The booking and arrival/departure process was nice and smooth.

This is my second stay at The Tower, stayed for Christmas in Dec 2024, and again for my birthday this month. I love it. It's the nicest of places, beautiful rooms and grounds, and love the wood burning fire, and have had lovely weather on both dates. Thank you. It's a magical place.
