Golf buggy hire at Great Fosters

Great Fosters is a country house hotel at Egham in Surrey, said to have begun as a royal hunting lodge, set in formal gardens crossed by an ancient moat. A buggy is worth considering for an event here because the house, the walled and sunken gardens and the Tithe Barn sit apart across grounds larger than they first appear.

We are an independent golf buggy hire company. We are not affiliated with Great Fosters 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 Great Fosters

Great Fosters is a Grade I listed Elizabethan house in extensive gardens and parkland on the edge of Egham, and its layout is what makes buggy transport worth a thought for an event. A Saxon moat borders the formal gardens, a bridge crosses to the parkland beyond, and the Tithe Barn, a favourite for wedding receptions, stands a short way from the house itself.

For a wedding or an event using more than one part of the grounds, the walk between the house, the gardens and the barn adds up, and it adds up most for the guests least able to manage it, older relatives and anyone in formal shoes among them. That is the case a buggy answers here.

Access and getting around

The gardens are formal and closely kept, with gravel paths, lawns and the moat bridge, so the venue sets its own rules on where a vehicle may go and on which surfaces. Those permissions are agreed with Great Fosters directly rather than with us.

The ground is broadly level and firm underfoot, which an electric buggy handles easily, though the paths narrow in the formal gardens, so routes are best planned with the venue in advance.
