Unique opportunity to purchase an eco-lodge site run as a high-quality glamping & B&B business within the Royal Forest of Dean with direct access to approximately 24,000 acres of woodland.
The Dome Garden comprises 11 eco and geo domes providing 5* glamping in an enclosed eco-encampment along with 3 hotel style rooms inside the historic Perch Lodge. The whole site sits on the very edge of the forest within easy walking distance of the facilities of Mile End as well as easily accessible to the amenities of the larger market town of Coleford.
LOCATION
The Dome Garden is located 1 mile from the market town of Coleford on the edge of the village of Mile End. There is a primary school, a church and a golf club within easy reach and a high school, pharmacy and two pubs in the neighbouring settlement of Five Acres. Coleford itself has further amenities and facilities including shops, banks, supermarkets, garages, public houses and restaurants along with the Bells Hotel and Country Club.
The Forest of Dean is located adjacent to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is easily accessible from Bristol (only 33 miles away) Bath, Cardiff and Gloucester. The market town of Monmouth is 8.5 miles away and provides a full range of amenities and facilities including supermarkets (Waitrose and M&S Food), public houses, a theatre, cinema, leisure centre with indoor swimming pool, cottage hospital and doctor’s surgery. The independent
Monmouth School has a nationally recognised reputation for excellence.
Coleford also sits at the heart of a wide range of local tourist attractions including Symonds Yat Rock, PuzzleWood, Clearwell Caves, Dean Forest Railway, Goodrich Castle (English Heritage), Go Ape and Beechenhurst Forest centre. 1.5 miles through the forest is Hopewell Colliery, a historic Freemine and functioning remnant of the cultural heritage of the Forest of Dean.
The Forest of Dean is well-known for its enhanced public access for walking and horse riding but increasingly for its extensive, first class, mountain biking tracks, some of which run directly from the Dome Garden back gate.
The final descent of the now famous 7-mile Verderers Route is 100 metres away and was described by MBUK as “the finest blue route in Britain.” Two miles down the road is the border with the Wye Valley AONB, also known for outdoor pursuits and popular with canoeists, walkers, cyclists, climbers and horse riders all year
round. Good food can be found at the Saracens Head on the banks of the River wye or the Michelin starred ‘Whitebrook’ restaurant run by renowned chef Chris Harrod – former winner of the BBC’s Great British Menu competition.
THE BUSINESS
The Dome Garden consists of 11 eco-domes providing high quality accommodation within a magical, eco-friendly village encampment surrounded by the forest. 19 miles west of Gloucester and north of Bristol and Cardiff, the site is easily accessible from West London, Birmingham and Oxford.
The garden itself is laid out as a small village, with multiple paths leading to little clearings amongst landscaped grounds and children’s play equipment. There are tyre runs, tree swings, zip wires and bridges all constructed out of natural forest products. There’s a large sunken fire pit in the form of a small amphitheatre where guests can gather in the evenings to chat and toast marshmallows. Also weaving through the garden is an 8 element low ropes initiative course which is used for corporate team building events.
Above the fire pit is Perch Lodge, a 210 year old timber clad stone lodge. Once the administrative hub for 600 acres of woodland, it is now home to 3 hotel style B&B rooms, the main restaurant and bar and an oversized brick pizza oven. The oven has one door inside and one door outside. Adjacent to the oven is the main kitchen and there are 2 more en-suite bedrooms for staff or owner accommodation.
The glamping operation and the restaurant/bar operate between Easter and the Autumn half term whilst the hotel style ‘Lodge Rooms’ continue through much of the rest of the year when they are run as a traditional B&B.
The operation is very environmentally aware and works on ecologically sound principles which allows guests to take a holistic break from their normal existence and immerse themselves in the unique and natural environment. Each of the domes are situated in their own private landscaped space accessed via a gravel/woodchip path and each have slightly different attributes. Some are two-storey, some come with a glazed roof to enjoy the night skies and some have hanging beds. They all have wood burning stoves, comfortable beds and en-suite facilities with white suites, flushing loos and wood-fired showers or double-ended baths heated by wood-fired boilers.
All of the domes have external kitchen shelters laid to decking. They are equipped with wood burning rocket stoves to cook on, upcycled bucket sinks, recycled timber work surfaces and evaporative stores with a living roof of edible herbs.
In the far corner there are three Hobbity domes. Conceived as an exercise in sustainable development using minimal materials and largely constructed of adobe, sandbags and clay, they provide an alternative semi-subterranean accommodation experience.
The 3 hotel style en-suite rooms within The Lodge, along with the newly refurbished Forest Refuge apartment (approaching completion) provide more traditional en-suite accommodation for guests - albeit with the unique Dome Garden recycled/eco atmosphere reflected in the rest of the site. These rooms have tea and coffee making facilities as well as Wifi and a TV.
The Dome Garden sits at the highest level of glamping accommodation in the UK business and has been rated one of “The Best UK Glamping sites” and one of the “Top 5 UK Luxury Campsites” by the Sunday Times, The Guardian, National Geographic, Cool Camping and Mumsnet.
The business was established 11 years ago by the present owners and developed into the efficient business it is today. Income is generated in three parts; the Dome Garden glamping, the restaurant/bar and The Lodge Rooms. It’s a very flexible business in relation to the length of season for each of the three elements and how much of the maintenance and service operations are outsourced or dealt with in-house. Income varies from season to season. The Lodge Rooms, now in their third season, are contributing an increasing percentage to the turnover of the business.
A small amount of further income is generated by the 3kw solar array. Installed in 2010 the panels come with a 25-year contract set at the highest tariff of index linked FITs payments. There are a small number of fixed costs but many more that are optional and define the overall level of profitability for the business.
The business is advertised via the website: along with social media and website advertising across a range of platforms including Airbnb, booking.com, hotels.com and Expedia etc.
Trading information can be provided to bona fide purchasers.
