This is our 5th visit to Sumners Ponds we started our 1st holiday in the Safari tent, then we moved on to a log cabin, then they got two prestigious log cabins so our next visit was in one of them. Pure luxury it has everything all mod cons huge decking for entertaining and a separate deck for the fishing. This year however we went back to one of the smaller cabins. Moorhen Lodge, it needs it's soft furnishings replacing and all the beds were very uncomfortable, we spent the whole month sleeping on the sofa. Our daughter who was using the single beds also complained of discomfort, this needs addressing. Most of the staff are very friendly but some of the younger staff need training, often they were sullen unhelpful and sometimes abrupt.

The lodge was clean, spacious and provided everything we required for a pleasant and relaxing break. Facilities such as the shed to house the fishing equipment, parking adjacent to the lodge and the welcome pack on our arrival were all very much appreciated. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and when asked to assist were prompt and responsive to our requests. Nothing seemed to be a problem for them. Although we were not camping we used the camping fields to walk our dog around and I must praise the campers who were there during our stay. They came and went throughout the week without any fuss, noise or disruption and on leaving, left the fields spotless. Thank you Sumners Ponds and we look forward to returning soon.

The surrounding walks were very relaxing. We had a lovely time and didn’t want to come home.

I’ve managed to book the same time of year for each of my stays. Tranquility 👌 Facilitates are perfect, setting is amazing and the staff are so friendly. As a family run business it’s lovely to see how it is forever evolving, I look forward to seeing what changes and additions you could possibly add on my next stay. Good job, and keep doing what you are doing. I love my home away from home 😊
