About this property

The Star Dome - Luxurious Star Gazing Retreat

Nestled in a private woodland glade, our Star Dome offers the simple joys of the great outdoors; designed for nature cravers, adventure chasers, peace and quiet seekers, star gazers and memory makers. It offers an enriched way to explore nature close up with amenities you would expect to find in a deluxe hotel: well-appointed beyond your expectations. When you gather around the fire, there is a special sense of companionship and an atmosphere of relaxation - every moment is transformed into a magical experience.

The Star dome features a natural fire with warming flames creating a cosy atmosphere without irritating sparks or smoke. Easy to use...a push of a button is all it takes to create a warming fire and a stylish ambiance. *Please note that gas for the firepit is an additional £25 charge and is subject to availability.

Fabulous stay in such natural surroundings.

Beautiful place. Very secluded but still not far from the town. Great if you are looking for something a bit different. Big temperature range (really hot during the day) but really cold at night but the hot water bottles and electric blankets were great. Hot tub was great but needs heating yourself but lightning a fire. Great instructions meant there were no issues.

Beautiful views in remote location

Overall a fantastic place to stay and we would come back. The views are fantastic and the accommodation itself is cosy and practical. There was a minor issue which was dealt with after a while. The only small snag for us was that it wasn’t clear on the website that there is no door between the kitchenette and the bathroom - as a couple we were not overly bothered by this but it could have been clearer.

Excellent and Unique Stay

We loved our time at the Star Dome. The owners were lovely and helped with some special arrangements to celebrate a birthday. The dome itself is amazing, as is the hot tub! We had a great time and would stay again :)
