I need to make a final decision regarding our 2 week stay in Sussex next summer. I have it narrowed down to 2 properties, one on the edge of a village near the sea,, the other a barn conversion on a farm slightly more inland.
The prices are the same, so that's not a factor. Both properties have a small outdoor space with table and chairs - neither space is large, or has much of a view, but it's just nice to have outdoor space. The farm cottage has the bedroom on the second floor (or first floor in European terminology.) The village house, in Rottingdean, (https://goo.gl/maps/gff2BzF5GGU2) seems much smaller, but the idea of being within walking distance of a village seems appealing.
The farm property, in Chiddingly (https://goo.gl/maps/zPWbmWwujo42), is 21 miles (38 minutes) from Rottingdean. (I hope this map link works!) Since we'll be venturing out on most days, we wouldn't have to drive as far to Chiddingly, and have the benefit of having built-in neighbors from the 2 adjoining rentals on either side. This property has a sun room as well as a living room.
Here are some details about each property:
