A very friendly welcome from Pritti and Donny, the owners. Donny was very informative of the area and we enjoyed Pritti's delicious home made curry, delivered to our door on our first evening.We were provided with a welcome package of milk, water, croissants, muffins and a lovely bottle of wine which was much appreciated.The Dome was spotlessly clean and the bed extremely comfortable. One thing I would suggest is to take with you whatever kitchen tools you think you may need - tin opener, corkscrew, scissors, potato peeler, etc. There is sufficient cutlery, crockery, glasses and pans but only three wooden spoons/spatulas. We spent a lovely relaxed week here and I recommend The Dome unreservedly.

Where do I start, this place was amazing. Situated by a fishing pond, which we had a nightly walk around, farm land with cows, plenty of garden space to play with the children and a patio area. The Dome was spacious, clean and furnished to such a high standard with Plenty of room for the whole family. We met Donny the owner who showed us around and was more than happy to help if we had any questions or needed any assistant. We traveled into lancaster which was only a 10/15 min drive away so plenty to do nearby. The children have decided we will definitely be returning next year. We all loved it.

Our stay at the dome was brilliant! A great experience and a lovely treat (different to the usual self catering accomodation we're used to). There's more than enough space for 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a young child. It's tastefully decorated, with quality furnishings and is impeccably clean. The site was ideal, plenty garden space to sit out/play, there was a fishing lake very close by, which we enjoyed for hours.The owners were welcoming, kind and passionate about their business, with a strong work ethic. Donny and Preeti make a good team, complimenting each other very well-which really shows, given our delightful experience at the dome. We enjoyed a delicious meal made by Preeti too, at a very reasonable price. What a quirky, fun holiday stay. We intend on returning in the future.
