The details

Domes by the Sea are a group of fabulous, self-catering geodomes in Kirkcudbright, all of which sleep two. Absolutely ideal for a romantic getaway, all of the Domes offer woodburning stoves. Orion is the perfect retreat for nature lovers, no matter the weather. If you stay during the summer, you can enjoy the long, warm days relaxing in the sunshine on the shared grassland that lies in front of you. Come during the winter, and you can take in the panoramic views of the snowy landscape thanks to the Domes' generous windows.

And if you want something more luxurious, then opt for Hercules or Andromeda. These two Domes feature large glass doors instead of a bay window that opens up onto the deck outside. This allows you to bring the outside in during warmer days and enjoy the fresh country air as you relax in bed. The deck on these two Domes is also larger, offering you more space to spread out and unwind.

These Domes are all perfect for stargazing too, and thanks to its rural location, light pollution is kept to a minimum. Relax in the comfort of the hot tub (each Dome has a private hot tub) and gaze up at the sky. You'll be discovering constellations you never knew existed! Noise pollution is likewise not something you'll have to worry about on the property and this private tract of farmland is the ideal place to unwind and unplug while enjoying a slower pace of life.

All of the Domes are equipped with everything you need to pamper yourself and your travel partner during your stay. Home to modern kitchenettes with an electric hob, kettle and fridge, guests can whip up either simple, light meals or culinary masterpieces. Additionally, all Domes are home to king size beds and ensuite walk-in showers and toilets for convenience's sake. All of the domes are also pet-friendly, so you can bring your canine companion with you.

If you fancy a night in, then you won't need to worry about feeling bored at Domes by the Sea. All are home to smart TVs in their living areas as well as WiFi, so you should have everything you need to entertain yourself and your travel companion. If you feel like venturing further afield, though, then charming Kirkcudbright has plenty to do and see. The town is home to various art galleries, restaurants and a quaint harbour offering a lovely place for a walk.

There's also a brand new on-site spa for you to make use of during your stay, adding an extra slice of luxury! This is the perfect place to rest weary muscles after a day out exploring the surrounding scenery. The spa area has a wood-fired sauna, a mobile food fired sauna, cold baths, a cold shower and a seven-person hot tub

Guests looking to sample some of the finest views that Scotland has to offer can make the short trip up to Galloway Forest Park, Britain's largest forest park, which is a half-hour drive from the property. Home to stunning mountains, rolling hills, glassy lochs and ample walking and cycling paths, Galloway is a must-see for nature lovers in particular.

I stayed in Andromeda with my partner for 3 nights at the beginning of October. The dome was a lot bigger than I expected! Very comfortable for our stay. The dome was stocked with essentials like tea, coffee, milk and then there were some extra treats like biscuits and a bottle of wine! We really enjoyed having our own decking with the hot tub which is lovely and warm. It was nice and private and nice to top the end of each day. Also loved getting the log burner going! The location is fab if you enjoy the outdoors and being a bit ‘off-grid’. Some great walks and beautiful scenery around. I’d say a car is a must as the domes are in quite a remote location. It’s also worth visiting Galloway forest if you get the chance. I’d definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back again in the future.

First class stay. 2 nights in the lovely Andromeda dome. Super clean, tidy, well stocked. Log burner was class, lovely decking with hot tub. Very comfy, spacious. Great get away for a few nights. Lovely walks up the headland with great views of Isle of Man etc. Didn't catch the lads name but local farmer was super friendly and helpful during the stay. Highly recommended place.
