Golf buggy hire at Cliveden House

Cliveden House sits in extensive National Trust grounds above the Thames at Taplow, near Maidenhead. A golf buggy is often booked for events here because the drive up from the entrance is long and the parterre, the house and the riverside are a considerable distance apart, more than wedding guests want to walk.

We are an independent golf buggy hire company. We are not affiliated with Cliveden House or endorsed by it, and this page is general guidance for planning transport at the venue. Vehicle access at the venue is arranged with the venue directly, and we work to whatever they set.

About Cliveden House

Cliveden is a grand country house hotel in formal gardens on the Berkshire bank of the Thames, and its scale is exactly what makes buggy transport worth considering for an event. The approach up from the entrance is long, the celebrated parterre lies below the house, and the river and its landing are a good way further still.

For a wedding or an event using more than one part of these grounds, the distances add up quickly, and they add up most for the guests least able to walk them: older relatives, anyone in formal shoes, anyone with a stick. That is the case a buggy answers here.

Access and getting around

The grounds are extensive and managed to a high standard, with gravel drives and formal lawns. As with any National Trust or heritage property, the venue sets its own rules on where vehicles may go and on what surfaces, so those permissions are agreed with the venue rather than with us.

The long approach involves a gentle climb, which an electric buggy handles comfortably, though a full day of trips up and down is worth sizing the hire for so there is charge in hand.
