About Adrienne Burgess

We are a couple who have worked mainly in the theatre and the arts, although Adrienne is now a writer/researcher specialising in fatherhood and Martin enjoys new-age ideas, while also working as a communications coach. We have been renting out properties for almost 40 years (two small apartments originally) and first tried holiday rentals with this country cottage from 2006. As that has been such a success, and we have now moved from our main family home in the heart of London, we have been letting that as a holiday rental also, since July 2008. That is going brilliantly, too. We love people to love our homes - and we love making them comfortable!

Adrienne Burgess purchased this cottage in 1990
Why Adrienne Burgess chose Waverley

This was our own country cottage while our children were growing up. We chose it because it is such a short distance from Central London yet in a wonderful secluded position. Now we have moved to an area of London which has a lot of green space, we no longer need to use Woodpecker Cottage regularly - although we still delight in popping down to enjoy it, and keep an eye on things . . .

What makes this cottage unique

Woodpecker always feels as if it's its own little world. When we go down we often plan to visit the many fascinating attractions nearby - from the Steam Railway to Wisley Horticultural Gardens. And sometimes we do. But more often we simply stay in the cottage and garden, or wander through the woods outside our own front door. Bluebell time is spectacular: every year we gasp at the carpets of bluebells in our woods. Wisteria-time is another joy: Woodpecker is draped in it, and the sweet smell permeates every room. But winter is gorgeous too - frosted twigs, snow soft beneath your feet. And you can stay inside in the warm while still appreciating the glorious outdoors, because of the magnificent views from every window...

My husband Martin and I love to contribute as much as we can. In addition, Woodpecker Cottage and our guests are blessed to be looked after locally by our housekeeper-gardener-and-generally-wonderful-person Elizabeth Finneran who can pop round at a moment's notice. 'Leave-it-to-Lizzie' (as she is often called), is ably supported by another Elizabeth (Elizabeth Cole) and by two terrific builders, Peter Finneran and Billy Jones, who keep on top of the maintenance. In London, our administrator, Carole McEwan, deals with the paperwork promptly and efficiently.

Golf: There are a number of golf courses,within 10 minutes' drive; and the Hindhead Championship Course is only TWO MINUTES drive away: the great Peter Alliss, who lives locally, is a member (listen to him talking about it on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P68Er8_6tHk . . . Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (creator of Sherlock Holmes) was one of the founders of this 6,373-yard par 70 course set in a breathtaking location in 1904. The superior front nine snakes through valleys over a large hollow of dry sandy heath overlooked by Gibbet Hill. The par threes third and sixth holes are memorable. There are elevation changes and the ultra-fast greens tend to be high above some fairways. The holes are moulded into a dramatic setting. The walk from the fifth green to the sixth tee is a stamina-tester. The return holes are situated on a hillside plateau. The most fearsome tee shot comes at the 17th to a sharply sloping fairway.

Notes: Although Woodpecker Cottage is not suitable for those confined to wheelchairs, we have grab-rails on the stairs and in the Waterbabies shower - and our 90 year old mother (and other people's elderly mothers and fathers) have enjoyed happy days at the cottage: if you can manage one flight of stairs you'll be OK; and there are WCs on each floor. It is possible to turn the downstairs study into a bedroom by bringing down one of the folding single beds from upstairs. The downstairs Cloakroom is on the same level as the study, and very close to it. The garden is fully enclosed, and so is wonderful for small children (there are places to hide in the bushes), and we provide toys and a folding sandpit and paddling pool, which are great in the summer. In the autumn you can pick raspberries at the bottom of the garden! The garden is very well kept and we are proud of our summer borders. Birds abound. We feed them, and so do most of our guests. You will see woodpeckers . . .

Magic week in a perfect place

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 08 May 2013 Date of Stay: April 2013
New (friendly) invasion of England by Normans!
Landed at Dover with to words in mind (drive left, drive left, drive left ...), we reached the cottage easily thanks to the written instructions provided by the owner. Divine surprise once the door opened : the property is more beautiful and nicer in real than in pictures. Very clean, well-maintened, fully equipped, very well furnished and decorated (you must a bath in the roman bathroom !). We found a welcome "food basket" and even a home backed bread. It is a fabulous cottage. We had a perfect stay in Surrey for a sunny week, spent in London, Legoland (not only for children!), Hampton Court, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Brighton with a break in Canterbury when we drove back to Dover. We never had such a welcome in every locations we spent holidays. House highly recommended for holidays.
We suffered only one loss during the week : the toaster that past out one morning probably overhelmed by the tons of scones we ate. Replaced within the day (by a nice ghost ?) while we were on exploration outside.
Endly I would like to thank the fairplay of the 2 british drivers who did not panic when they found us face to them on the right side of the road (the only two times I forgot the two magic words "ride left"). They slowed down giving us time to bear left. I just saw a smile on the face on the postman (the 2nd driver) in Green Lane but it was pobably due to the face of my wife, seat on right, who was screaming with fear. This was impassive driving and not latine driving.
We hope that we will come back will be able to have a stay in the londonian property of the same owner.
Thanks again for this week to Carole and Adrienne who were very helpful.

PS. I'm not paid to write this. I've paid for this and it worths it !
Owner's Response: What a magic review! Thank you so much for writing it, Laurent! So glad you had a magic week . I laughed out loud hearing of your driving adventures. I hope your poor wife has recovered. It was a pleasure having you all to stay. Best wishes, Adrienne

It brought an instant smile to walk in!

Review Submitted: 20 February 2013 Date of Stay: January 2013
Firstly I must say a huge thankyou for all your efforts with the cottage prior to our arrival. Everyone was given an instant smile as we entered to the smell of fresh bread and Christmas music!! The cottage is truly beautiful and your efforts were greatly appreciated. We will certainly recommend Woodpecker Cottage: it was well equipped with everything we required. We had a great time and a fabulous New Year.

Review Submitted: 20 February 2013 Date of Stay: December 2012
Have arrived at the cottage and ithas been the most the most welcoming arrival ever with the smell of home made bread and Christmas music playing. The cottage itself is everything we could have hoped for.

We travelled to Surrey from Cumbria to visit our daughter who has recently moved south. From first contact booking the cottage was easy and every effort was made to provide us with all the information we needed about the accommodation, how to get there and local services. There were 7 of us staying a the cottage and we were all well suited. There was ample space for us all and the younger contingent enjoyed both access to Sky and the internet. The baking bread when we arrived was a lovely touch along with all the other provisions left for us. The cottage was beautifully kept and we very much enjoyed feeding and watching the birds in the garden even once glimpsing the elusive woodpecker itself! We enjoyed a meal out at the Italian restaurant in Beacon Hill as well as an Indian take away. Our best meal out though was at the Inn on the Lake at Godalming already a favourite place for our daughter. We loved the pottery at Grayshott and walking through the woods at the Devils' Punch Bowl. The colours of the trees were beautiful. The proximity to London was great with various members of our group visiting by train on 3 different occasions during the week.
Really there was something for everyone in a beautiful location in a lovely homely cottage. We would certainly recommend Woodpecker Cottage to a friend and we hope to visit again ourselves.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much, Christine, for going to the trouble of writing a review. You are very kind! We are delighted you enjoyed your stay so much, made such good use of local amenities and the proximity to London - and glimpsed the Woodpecker, for whom our cottage is named. We hope to welcome you again one day!
