Hello! And a warm welcome to Castle Hedingham from Joy and Simon. Our Story After over 20 years living in London we moved to Castle Hedingham in 2014 to bring up our young family. Simon grew up in the area and with family and close connections in the village we settled in quickly. The main house and the Coach House on the property was a popular Bed and Breakfast in the late 1980s/90s but hadn't been operating for more than 20 years and was in need of renovation. We begun renovating the house and then the coach house juggling our busy work lives with bringing up two young boys. In 2025 we completed the renovation of The Coach House and (re)opened the property for guests in December 2025. Our aim is to give you a comfortable, relaxing and peaceful stay in this quintessential English village, whether you are attending a wedding at the iconic Hedingham Castle, touring the area or visiting friends and family, The Coach House is an ideal base.
