About this property

This well-presented cottage is situated in the pretty village of Castle Hedingham in North Essex. Stylishly appointed, this whitewashed cottage is accessed via a farm gate to the side of the owners' house which leads up to the small patio garden enclosed by willow hurdles which is just the place to enjoy a glass or two as the sun goes down. Inside this Castle Hedingham cottage, the open plan sitting room has comfortable seating where you are able to relax and unwind, whilst the fitted kitchen offers views over the courtyard garden through a large picture window. The bedroom has soft carpeting, subtle decor and a super king-size bed along with an en-suite shower room. Wander along the winding streets of this medieval village, enjoy a cream tea at the local tea shop or play tennis at the courts located next door to the cottage, before having lunch at one of the local pubs or the restaurant. Just up the hill is the famous Hedingham Castle after which the village was named. The castle is the alleged birthplace of the 17th Earl of Oxford, subject of the film 'Anonymous' and is well worth a visit. Nearby Sudbury offers a weekly market and a riverside setting. If you feel like some retail therapy, the Freeport outlet centre is only a short distance away, where you can shop for bargains or take in a film at the cinema. A visit to Cambridge, Lavenham or even London, including the Olympic venue at Stratford, are all easily enjoyed from this cottage in Castle Hedingham. This Castle Hedingham cottage is the perfect place to return to after a day exploring this part of North Essex.

Castle Hedingham is a village in north Essex dating back to medieval times with plenty of timber framed cottages dating back to the 15th century.

    The distance from the road to the cottage was longer than we thought from the description and a bit of a pain with lots of luggage. The village was busier than expected but even so we always managed to park on the road close by. There was chilled wine waiting for us when we arrived along with lovely biscuits and a bottle of milk. Overall we had a peaceful and comfortable stay and the cottage is great value so we would certainly be happy to stay here again.

    I didn't want to go home. I've been trying to arrange to come back in December. The owners (Dan and Juliet) always have the best interests of the guests at heart and are always on call if I need anything, even if it isn't house-related. Dan was so kind to give me helpful advice on my car whilst I had engine trouble. The whole week was a magical stay and I'm so glad to have visited such a wonderful village. The people are so welcoming. I would highly recommend staying at Vine Cottage, it's a good price, nice and private for a peaceful getaway. Thank you, Dan and Julliette, Hope to see you again very soon. :)

    Quiet and so relaxing. Sunny aspect with everything you could need for either a weekend or as we did a week's stay. Super comfy bed and high quality bed linen. We will definitely be back
