incredible and unique stay

This is the most incredible and unique stay I’ve experienced this year. The Dome is secluded, private and intimate. Surrounded by nature it’s the best getaway to relax, recharge and rejuvenate.

spectacular

The stay was only one night and it was super. The place was fantastic and the scenery even more spectacular. The staff were super friendly and professional. Really made us want to stay even longer. Brilliant service thanks.
