We stayed in Pod 3 which had a heater, lights and plug sockets. It also had a private picnic area to cook. The surroundings were very peaceful with the lakes, farm animals and woodland. The staff were friendly and helpful and the toilets and shower blocks were cleaned regularly. To improve the experience the fishing platforms could be larger in order for two people to fish more comfortably. We would have also preferred if the cafe was open later as food orders closed at 15:00 and the cafe shut at 16:00. Therefore, we had to go to the local pub for dinner or get take away which was not always ideal.

Enjoyed a two-night stay with my son. Pod was warm (radiator) and well positioned, close to amenities. Both fishing novices and were able to catch a few nice carp from the decking. Slight disappointment that cafe wasn't open for the evening, as it's still busy in... Enjoyed a two-night stay with my son. Pod was warm (radiator) and well positioned, close to amenities.

We had a camping Pod this stay, and it was warm and cosy . Our Pod was right on one of the lakes ideal for fishing. There is plenty of space for children and a play area and for dog walking. The cafe has a wide selection of food. We had a breakfast this trip can recommend. The shower blocks are clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a shop and a pub The Queens head about a five minute walk away. We had a evening meal in the pub it was delicious.

Second trip to Sumners with the kids. We stayed in a camping pod and find them perfect for us. Really useful to have a warm, dry pod ready and waiting. The pod locations are also excellent and offer lots of privacy. The campsite and facilities were absolutely spotless... Second trip to Sumners with the kids. We stayed in a camping pod and find them perfect for us. Really useful to have a warm, dry pod ready and waiting. The pod locations are also excellent and offer lots of privacy. The campsite and facilities were absolutely spotless as usual. Top tip that I only realised at the end of our stay was that there is a fridge and freezer in the washing up room which is useful to keeping food fresh or refreezing ice blocks for the cooler. Lots of great places locally. Highly recommend the Bax Castle pub for pizzas and their excellent bouncy castles to keep the kids entertained.

Stayed in pod 6 facing farm pond. Quaint , basic , small lamp with spare plug - came in super handy for phone charging and kettle. Had a lovely feel on arrival, pod was clean. Loved cooking outdoors, convenient for fishing , little disappointed you couldn’t get on... Stayed in pod 6 facing farm pond. Quaint , basic , small lamp with spare plug - came in super handy for phone charging and kettle. Had a lovely feel on arrival, pod was clean. Loved cooking outdoors, convenient for fishing , little disappointed you couldn’t get on Sumners Lake, reserved for members only and guest staying on that lake. Restaurant cooked lovely wholesome food. Coffee fantastic! Staff amazing considering staff down. Polite and helpful. Fairly priced for cooked breakfast, nice quality sausages, bacon n eggs. Pizza night was good. Toilets and showers were spotless and always smelt pleasant in hallway. Would definitely stay again , got us right back into camping , something my husband and I haven’t done since childhood ! Back to basics fun

We had hoped that my wife and myself could fish at the same time but the size of the fishing platform was too small and very close to the pod. Which meant that only one of us could fish and when I used the landing net, which almost constantly, my wife had to move from her chair in front of the pod. The area where the bench is situated is around the side of the pod which is a nice sized area Unfortunately the car parking space allocated for pod3 is not next to the pod. We were lucky that when we arrived the large camping area's for camper vans was empty so we parked behind the pod to unload but was soon told that we had to move our car to the allocated space for pod3, which is situated in the main car park area. We stayed Sunday to Tuesday, shame the lakeside cafe, bar shut at 4pm on Monday's. A trip to the local shop just down the road sorted that problem, with a bottle of wine included. Small pod on SumnersWed page is NOT p

Brilliant friendly, clean and amazing !! Love it

Fishing was very poor from the pod, not a single bite in 2 days so we had to fish match lake to catch something to make the trip worthwhile

all ways nice at sumners pond its been a couple of years since we last stayed there and there are a lot of changes there are new pods and lodges round sumners which i think makes it overcrowded all ways fishing there for every standard and all ways clean and tidy

Could not fault our weekend away here, this is the 3rd time we have been and each time we have an amazing time, thank you and see you again next year!
