would you go on holiday there? It looks a bit quiet but fairly close to bigger town/area? |

Can you compromise and do a week B&B and a week at home with days out? |

what about your holiday or dont you get one cant you take another couple with you and split the cost it would be company for you and your husband and you could share cooking ect my mum and dad go on holiday with friends and during the day the girls go off shopping and leave the boys to their own devices as well as having days out together and in the evening they all play cards go out for meal or drink or whatever takes their fancy seems a shame you have to be stuck in a place with nothing you would be better staying at home with all your own comforts |

I wouldn't choose to stay at Dungeness as it can be very bleak and cold as it is so flat. Try Camber Sands, not too far from there, we rent a cosy cottage at a reasonable price just 10 mins walk to a sandy beach and close to Rye which is an interesting town. My husband for some reason always likes to drive around Dungeness Power station, the only good thing is The Pilot Inn which serves lovely fish & chips .We originally come from that area and often stay at the cottage to visit my elderly Mother in law who is in a rest home at Hastings. I don't do much cooking while there as the pub food is reasonably priced and it saves going shopping too often. |

Thanks all, having looked at the place again I have decided it would be a nicer area in the Spring/early Summer so will try to make sure that if there is a holiday to be booked next year, he gets the dates right and books early at work, so we can be there during longer days, then we can enjoy the beach in the evening too, and get out and about more. |

Purple, I was going to say my OHis like that, but on reading further am glad to say he isnt that bad. He can get on with people if he puts himself out, and wont handle money, I have it all. He has just offered to have beans on toast for dinner so I can go out with Jude next week, so I would say you picked very badly. Pity you cant show him some of our comments! |

As we aren't married and I am here under sufferance, it's very much a case of his and mine rather than ours so I cannot just book something without his sayso as I don't have the funds available, he is still working, I am an oap. Sometimes he can be ok and generous but then it gets thrown back at me at a later date so that's why I am careful what I arrange etc. He is happy for me to sort out all the arrangements and run them by him and usually pays but lately he has been different, I think he might be sending his son money in America, as he has been on the scrounge a few weeks ago. |

Hi Liz, I live in that area and I like Dungeness. It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and this year my 22 yr old son took me to the Pilot - which I haven't been to in years. There are lots of (breezy) walks along the coast. I haven't been to the RSPB reserve but my stepmother tells me it is excellent. |

Helen, you would have a job googling Derek Jarman - he died in 1994. Unless you have a direct line to the hereafter that is. |

Hi Bernie, a direct line would be good, lol, but there is still info about his garden on google - I took a look as you had me worried! |
