My daughter had asked for a camping weekend for her 10th birthday, and after looking on the internet, I discovered the wonderful Dome Garden website. The reality of the 'geodome' tent was even more amazing than I had imagined. Despite icy conditions, and unpredictable April showers, we had the most fun I have had for months, from gathering wood for... More

Our whole experience has been first class, from the entertaining website through to one of the best short trips we have ever had. The spacious domes are incredible to live in especially with the wood burning stove, large window on the world, and a big skylight to see the stars. Having 3 fires to play with was SO much fun...

If you've read other reviews, you'll already know this is a cool place, but not many have mentioned the cost, so I'm going to start there. Yes, if you treat this as a camping holiday it's a lot of money, but the costs are roughly in line with renting a poky Cornish holiday cottage and trust me, you'll have so... More

We read all the rave reviews, but our experience wasn't very favourable. Everything seemed disorganised and haphazard, not at all what we'd been led to believe on the website. To be fair, we went the first week it was open after the winter, and it did actually snow one morning, which didn't help. But our dome had huge holes in... More

Fantastic weekend glamping in the Dome Garden - part luxury, part camping, with a dash of the Famous Five Go Native. We stayed on the last weekend of March and woke up to frosts but with a huge wood burning stove inside our domes we were warm as toast. In fact the dome is so lovely with views of the... More

In short, if you like fresh air, roaring fires, camp fire cooking made easy and falling asleep full of home made pizza and red wine, this is the place for you. We took our kids (9 & 7) for October half term and had a great time despite changeable weather. Although you are expected to be semi-self sufficient, the hospitality... More

I wasn't sure what to expect when we took ourselves off for the Bank Holiday week in August. We had been camping before but I am a girl who likes an ensuite with fluffy duvets and we found that here. We took an 11 and 13 year old with us, that week they were the oldest of the "kids" but... More

HI There, Thanks so much for reviewing us here and really glad you had a great time. It's just great when people throw themselves into the spirit of what we are doing here so thoroughly - as you all did. Well done with the cooking too. You are right about the new hotplates - they are an improvement as they... More

My sisters booked 3 domes at the Dome Garden's back in May for my hen do and we had an AMAZING time. It was totally different, relaxing, and fun and our hosts were so helpful. At the time we visited, the three domes we were staying in were the only three domes up so we had the place to ourselves... More

Oh Hi Mel. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and so much detail too. We've had such a busy season that it already seems so long ago and so much has changed over the season. I do still have a wonderful image of one of the Mums in full tweed and a deerstalker frying... More

This was quite simply the best family holiday we've ever had. From staying in the stunning dome to the freedom we were able to allow the kids, it was wonderful. There were so many great memories generated, possibly my favourite was the look on my son's face when he brought in a newly laid egg from the chickens that roam... More

Really didn't know what to expect and we were amazed by the size of each dome, they're huge - and lovely that you could lie in bed and see the stars. Lighting the wood burning stove to heat the water that comes through the shower was a challenge but we managed it and derived an enormous amount of satisfaction from... More
