Golf buggy hire in Chagford

Golf buggy hire in Chagford covers the Dartmoor edge above the Teign. It is one of the four stannary towns, with country house hotels and estates in the wooded valley below, where drives are long and parking is never near the door.

Golf buggy hire around Chagford

Chagford stands on the north eastern edge of Dartmoor above the Teign valley, one of the four stannary towns where tin was weighed and stamped. The square and the church sit at its centre, and below in the wooded gorge of the Teign are country house hotels and estates, with Castle Drogo, the last castle built in England, on the bluff above the river a few miles downstream.

Country house hotels on the moor edge produce steady work. Weddings and events at a house in a wooded valley separate ceremony, dining, accommodation and parking across grounds reached by a long drive, and guests, suppliers and staff cross that repeatedly. The town itself holds events on a square with no parking and streets a van struggles with.

Estate drives and made ground are the workable surface and are generally firm. The valley sides are steep, the moor above is rough wet ground with common rights over it, and neither is buggy country. We would say that plainly rather than let anyone plan a moorland route. Chagford is a long run west from our depot.

Delivery to Chagford

We deliver to Chagford from our Bracknell depot, about 190 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 Chagford 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.

What buggies get used for around Chagford

• Country house hotels with long drives and parking well away from the door.
• Valley estates where ceremony, dining and accommodation are separate.
• Town square events with no parking and narrow approaches.
• Estate teams working made drives on the moor edge.

Questions about hire in Chagford

Can a buggy be used on open moorland

No. Dartmoor is rough, wet and rocky, carries common rights and conservation designations, and none of it suits a golf buggy. Enclosed estates and hotel grounds at the moor edge are an entirely different proposition.

Why do country house hotels hire buggies

Because the setting that sells the venue is the same thing that creates the distances. A house at the end of a long drive in its own grounds means guests park far from where they need to be, and a proportion of any wedding party cannot walk it.
