Any recommendations? We need something for one night - myself, my wife and our 8yr old - on 5th July. Round by Dungeness? Why not?
Doesn't have to be flash, just simple, clean, usable.

Suggestions welcomed

Thanks!

Dungeness is quite a drive from Dover and its a very small place with a Power Station, Lighthouse and train station for the light railway. There is a pub called the Pilot which is famous for its fish and chips but not sure about rooms. Great Stone might have BB's.

There are some ex Railway carriages to rent actually on Dungeness itself. Don't know more than that but a call to the Pilot my prove useful. (Dover is quite a way and not the 'best' place to stay)

As featured in the Jacqueline Winspear novel "Messenger of Truth". I hadn't realised she had based them on real ones.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Not read that one. Trying to remember the other (modern) novel/short story also based there.
