ENGLAND- Where to stay between ARUNDEL and BRIGHTON??
Hello again,
i do believe i've never spent so much time planning a trip as this one! i've cut out a lot that was on my previous itineraries so now before I go to London I'm heading from Bath to Arundel Castle (with a stop in Chawton and possibly HIghclere along the way). Here's my big problem- I was hoping to spend the night in Arundel and drive to Brighton the following morning to drop off my car and get a train to London, but EVERYTHING is booked due to some festival.
I figured I would just drive straight to Brighton after visiting Arundel and spend one night to relax (not my ideal place) but i'm having an issue of it falling on a Saturday and no one wants to book us for just one night.
There doesn't seem to be a dropoff for my car any closer to Arundel than Brighton, so do any of you have any recommendations on a place to stay that's in between?
thanks again in advance for all your help!
best,
k

Interesting, I posted a while ago suggesting Lewes and it didn't take. In any case, as Havana has mentioned, it's a pretty place with a very interesting old town center and not far beyond your target.

Since Arundel won't work and Brighton requires 2 nights - think about what is possible.
The easiest place to return the car is either at Gatwick or Heathrow.
So you could either <B>1)</B> stay the night near Chawton, then the next day visit Arundel and drive on to LGW to drop the car and train in to London. or <B>2)</B> probably even easier - drive from Bath to Arundel, visit the castle, then drive north to near Chawton and stay the night. Visit the Austen property and then drop the car at LHR.
