Baddeck Domes

We stayed in a brand new dome and it was beautiful! Very bright, clean, spacious. The owner was kind and helpful. There are no bathrooms, running water, or shower in the dome. So plan accordingly. But they bathrooms were close by and good. They listed a "hot springs" and "hot tub" on their listing,, as well as laundry. But there was no hot springs nearby (we asked), the hot tub was quite dirty, so we didn't use it, and there was no laundry available. That was frustrating as we were expecting to do our laundry mid-trip and were not able to.

The dome is spacious, clean, and has adequate amenities for an overnight stay. Great location as it situated along the road and next to Tim Hortons and gas station. Staff is kind and helpful esp when the dome smelled plastic fumes maybe because of the sun’s heat, he quickly helped open the dome exhaust windows to let the air flow. The cons is that washroom is outside and shared. About two domes are functional and already open to the public, few more domes are being built. Hope they’d consider the unobstructed views from the dome otherwise it will defeat the purpose of staying in a dome not a hostel. The tub is next to the washrooms so not really inviting. You can park beside your dome but pavement still uneven, maybe they will improve it as well. Overall, it’s a value for money, a good spot to have break at Baddeck before or after a long drive between Halifax and Cabot trail. Recommended.

The dome was fantastic, it even had a television, which was great for the evening and when it rained. It is a work in progress so be patient it is all about the dome. It had huge views. Jeff was outstanding. The showers broke down but they let us use a hotel room. The hot tub should be deleted. I recommend them, once they are completed the price will certainly rise.

Clean, everything we needed. Bit of a walk for the bathroom but would do again!!
