Peckover Stable Lodge

Peckover Stable Lodge is part of an 18th-century coach house, tucked away next to Peckover House and Garden. You’ll have free entry to Peckover, an elegant Georgian town house, when it's open and your own key to the door that leads from the lodge's courtyard into Peckover’s garden. This special garden has remained mainly unchanged since its Victorian heyday, with a rose garden, orangery, orchard lawn and borders full of herbaceous plants. You can continue to explore the grounds when the other visitors have left for the day. 

The coach house is in the heart of Wisbech, five minutes from the harbour and 30 minutes from the coast. The Wash National Nature Reserve is 16 miles away. A short distance further, the coastline changes from dramatic saltmarshes to miles of sandy beaches, pinewoods and dunes, stretching from Hunstanton to Brancaster and beyond Holkham to Wells-next-the-Sea.  

There are two other holiday cottages in Wisbech. Coach House Loft (sleeps two) is a first-floor apartment joined to Peckover Stable Lodge, and Wainman House (sleeps 12) is a grand Georgian house nearby.
