There is a mix of admiration and, to some extent, loathing. The pleasure dome is regarded by the speaker as a marvel of man that also encompasses some of nature. However, nature is vastly more infinite than the creations of man, leading to some of the mixed feelings, in which the pleasure dome is seen almost as an affront to nature. Ultimately, though, the narrator regards the successful mix of nature and man-madden as a marvel.
There are many theories within critical literature that suggests Coleridge was speaking of poetry itself with the pleasure dome as a metaphor. In that sense, art is the manmade which must compete with and encompass the natural. Romantics (of which Coleridge was one) were big fans of nature.
