The Dome Garden

The Dome Garden is a unique place to stay.  It’s located in Coleford, Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom.  (Forgive me if I’m not familiar with this area!)

What’s there to do there?  Besides being surrounded by nature and tranquility, it sits between two famous rivers that are known for great canoeing and fishing.  And it’s two hours away from London.

There’s an interesting group of geodesic domes that can house two to six people each in the middle of the ancient Forest of Dean.

One of my favorite parts besides the peaceful setting is the domes.  They have windows and are self-contained.  Plus there are a few different sizes to choose from in case you’re going alone, for a romantic getaway, or with the whole family…

There’s a 20ft with a shower, 24ft with a bath, and a luxurious 20ft with a spare bedroom dome.  All of them have their own place to shower or bath and the water is heated by wood burning stoves.  And yes, toilets are in there too.

In addition each one has its own kitchen with fridge and food.  Then there is something they call the dome-itory, it’s a 24ft dome that can sleep up to ten people with privacy in their own little “cocoons”.  See picture at the bottom of post!
