Shepherds Hut Glamping at Sumners Ponds offers quirky and beautifully handcrafted huts, ideal for a quick stop over or a romantic glamping weekend in West Sussex. The Shepherds Hut is located on the bank of the Sumners Lake and has a small veranda over the water with seating. The shepherds hut is furnished with a comfy memory foam double bed with clean white linen and cosy throws. There is a rustic table and chairs along with a wood burning stove that will keep the shepherds hut pleasantly warm even through the night.

There is a small fridge for essentials like milk and a kettle along with complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate. There aren't any toilet and shower facilities at Bathsheba but the luxury state of the art amenity block is just a minute walk away. Breakfast at The Café by the Lake is included with your stay.

Glamping at Sumners Ponds Fishery and Campsite in West Sussex is a unique and beautiful spot set in tranquil countryside amongst 100 acres of lakes, woodland and pasture.

The campsite itself boasts high quality campsite facilities, acres of woodland, a working farm and fishing lakes. All this in a beautiful and secluded setting which is perfect for just relaxing, or for the more active, exploring the many footpaths and safe cycle-ways within and around the site.

Sumners Ponds is an ideal touring base, with many beautiful towns and villages near by. Access to the South Downs National Park and the coast is easy, while Brighton is only half an hour by car and London only one hour away. There really is something for everyone.

The Cafe by the Lake is our restaurant and bar which is open to both those staying on site and the general public. We aim to provide the highest standard of food and service.

When you arrive the Smith family and the team will be here to ensure that your glamping break in West Sussex is as enjoyable as possible. We look forward to welcoming you.

We had a 1 night stay in Old George shepherds hut and it was perfect, the lakeside view was beautiful, all the facilities we needed inside, we had the log burner going in the evening and it was perfectly toasty! Breakfast at the cafe was fantastic and then my husband had a lovely relaxing day fishing at Betty’s Lake, the reception staff couldn’t be more helpful and polite, we will definitely book again!!

A little disappointing that its lakeside and you can't fish from it. The grounds are lovely, and well kept, its all very dog friendly. Short walk to the showers & toilets, which were sparkling clean. Close by to get drinking water as well. All staff very friendly. Breakfast, tea, cake, beers in the restaurant, all well priced and great quality, especially the included breakfast. Visited the local Queens Head for dinner, also v good and a short walk in the evening. Fished the farm pond with my son, with good success. Though slightly concerning the poor state of many of the fishes mouths :( Highly recommend. We will be back.

There's an electric fire and plenty of firewood for the wood burner. Comfy bed and crisp white linen. A glorious view over the lake from the verandah. We could park the car right beside the hut. The breakfast in the nearby cafe was delicious. The homemade veggie sausages were the best I've had in 35 years of being vegetarian! The wood burners and fairylights in the cafe create a cosy atmosphere. The staff were also fabulous across the site.

"Holiday insight"

Mr S Copping - Stayed with partner, Feb 2023

Loved the stay here. Reception and fishing bailiffs very friendly. Only thing I would change is that the restaurant needs to open past 4pm. Particularly over weekends and school holidays

"A quiet Christmas"

The whole site, including the shower/toilet block was kept scrupulously clean. Facilities checked daily including Christmas & Boxing Days. Always wanted to try a Shepherds Hut. Bearing in mind the time of year, I felt that a higher tog rated duvet would have been welcome. It was a 10.5 tog rating. It didn’t feel welcoming, rather, thin & a little mean. Personally, I found the recorded bird song which played whilst I was using the shower block, a little unnerving! Kept expecting to be surrounded by hordes of birds…a la Hitchcock! I would whole heartedly recommend a visit to Sumner’s Pond.

The shepherds hut was very cosy and it was great that breakfast was included in the offer. The food was brilliant and staff very welcoming. The toilets were always very clean and facilities were good. We stayed at Sumners for a fishing trip so it was nice and accessible to get to the lakes. Area for improvements would be: to have an earlier check in time (we thought 4pm was quite late; especially as it’s getting dark by this time so wasn’t really able to enjoy the site/look around). We also thought it would be a nice gesture if the fishing cost was included in the stay cost. Other than that it was a pleasant stay and we will certainly return.

We had previously stayed here in our caravan, but as we no longer have it but had a weekend booked, decided to try a Shepherd's Hut. It was fantastic,so warm and cosy with an extremely comfortable bed. We were right on the lake and enjoyed a glass of wine on the decking. Bliss! Breakfast was included and we weren't disappointed. It was great. The shiwer block is beautifully clean and warm. We will be back.

Very rustic little hut perfect for a little get away with hubby. Had everything we needed. Comes with breakfast each day which was lovely. Although a few things had gone from the breakfast menu since last time. I’m not really int a full English I like pancakes and bacon but this wasn’t on the menu this time but wot we had was delicious. We booked and paid for fishing on the main lake that our hut was on only to be told that it was members only and had to pack up which was a little disappointing. But the bailiff aloud us to fish off of our decking but unfortunately this was quite small so we had to pack up. We booked the big safari tent whilst there so hopefully we will get some fishing in next time. Staff all lovely and very helpful
