Hedingham Castle announces launch of new Royal Chamber

Guests at Hedingham Castle, can now step back in time and experience the luxurious lifestyle of medieval English royalty, with all the conveniences of 21st century living.

Located on the top floor of the 900-year-old Norman Keep, which would have originally been the dormitory floor, The Royal Chamber features a grand four-poster bed, exquisite tapestries, exceptional views and elegant furnishings in the style that would have been used by the lords and ladies of the castle.
