Golf buggy hire in Bicton

Golf buggy hire in Bicton covers the estate gardens in east Devon. Bicton Park runs to some 60 acres of formal Italian garden, glasshouses, arboretum and woodland, with a narrow gauge railway laid through it because the site is too big to walk comfortably.

Golf buggy hire around Bicton

Bicton lies in east Devon between Budleigh Salterton and Ottery St Mary. Bicton Park Botanical Gardens cover around 60 acres, with an Italian garden laid out in the 1730s in the manner of Le Nôtre, a curved iron and glass palm house of the 1820s, an arboretum, a pinetum and woodland walks, and a narrow gauge railway that has run through the grounds since the 1960s.

A garden that built itself a railway has already answered the distance question. The formal gardens, the glasshouses, the arboretum and the woodland are spread far enough apart that visitors need help crossing them, and the estate's own horticulture team moves plants, compost and tools through the same ground continuously. The agricultural college on the estate adds its own campus movement.

The made paths and gravel walks through the formal gardens are firm and level, which suits a buggy, with grass rides through the arboretum that follow the season and gentle east Devon slopes. Glasshouse thresholds and formal borders set the limits. Access is the operator's decision. Bicton is a long run west from our depot.

Delivery to Bicton

We deliver to Bicton from our Bracknell depot, about 175 miles by road. Delivery is priced on that distance and shown as its own line on your quote, separate from the hire, so you can see exactly what each part costs.

We bring the buggies on a trailer, set them up at the venue, show your team how they work, and collect them at the end of the hire. Nobody needs to tow anything or collect anything themselves.

Which buggies suit Bicton venues

• 

  4 seater

  A 4 seater golf buggy carries a driver and three passengers, usually in two rows. It is a popular choice for weddings, small group transport and general venue use.

• 

  6 seater

  A 6 seater golf buggy carries a driver and five passengers. It is the usual choice once you are moving groups rather than individuals, and it is the smallest size that works properly as a shuttle.

• 

  8 seater

  An 8 seater golf buggy, sometimes called a people mover, carries a driver and seven passengers. It is the largest option we hire and is built for moving guests in numbers on a set route, rather than for general runabout use.

Questions about hire in Bicton

Do you supply to colleges and campuses

Yes. A land-based college or a spread-out campus has staff, students and equipment crossing it all day, often with restrictions on larger vehicles, and hire can run for a term or a project period rather than being a purchase.

Can a buggy be used inside a glasshouse

Where the thresholds, floors and doorways allow and the operator agrees. Being electric it adds no exhaust to an enclosed space, which is the usual objection, but access is a practical judgement for the site rather than a general rule.
