Lakeside Pod at Sumners Ponds

My pod on arrival was very clean. Fishing was excellent. Only down part was that the step down from the top deck to the bottom deck was rather steep so would be tricky for an elderly person on their own.

This my son & mines 3rd visit & we’ve loved it every time, because we base our visit on angling.. But noticed a few more new lakeside dwellings being built..

This my son & mines 3rd visit & we’ve loved it every time, because we base our visit on angling.. But noticed a few more new lakeside dwellings being built.. (Which I feel are very expensive) I have considered booking for my family.. but the very high prices have put me off. I also think Sumners Lake requires more stock of fish if you are hoping to attract the more social angler & not the specimen hunter.

Good fun but a tight fit for 2 adults and a 12 y/o. Fishing platform tight for 2 rods and overgrown in places made fishing difficult but still managed to catch plenty. Toilets and showers cleanest I have ever seen, just a pleasure to use.

When we stayed in a hub the gap between the two doors was so big I had to stuff kitchen towel to fill the gap. The heater was on full and didn’t keep us warm due to this problem. We didn’t stay the second night because of this , we were very cold!

Friendly welcome and we were able to access our accommodation earlier than agreed. Exceptional shower and toilet facilities. Staff were efficient and friendly. On site cafe served delicious food at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a... Friendly welcome and we were able to access our accommodation earlier than agreed.

We wanted a holiday (our first in over 20 years) where we could take our dog. Sumners was perfect as it only takes us ten minutes to drive from home and we had a lovely cozy pod with heating. My husband could fish 24 hours from the pod's swim and there are lovely walks... We wanted a holiday (our first in over 20 years) where we could take our dog. Sumners was perfect as it only takes us ten minutes to drive from home and we had a lovely cozy pod with heating. My husband could fish 24 hours from the pod's swim and there are lovely walks for the dog too. There is an excellent cafe where we highly recommend the food (we particularly loved the breakfast and the pulled pork on chips!) We also had our own garden area with a picnic table. I was particularly impressed with the shower/toilet facilities which were immaculate, and lovely and warm. Also great to have somewhere to do the washing up. The Staff are very helpful and friendly. We have booked again next month and the following month! Who needs to abroad!

Normally we stay in a tent but even I’m not brave enough to camp in January. When we arrived the pod was clean and warm and ready for us to use. The reception staffed welcomed us and gave all the information we needed. Our stuff felt safe inside the locked pod, there’s...

The reception staffed welcomed us and gave all the information we needed. Our stuff felt safe inside the locked pod, there’s enough privacy to feel like you’re not being watched over but with the other pods across the water you don’t feel alone.

Been going to sumners for years, I love the place, friendly staff,and a brilliant fishery . Will be back soon

Have stayed here many times and highly recommend. Always have a lovely time and staff are so friendly and helpful. Nessa Kilgarriff
