点评:My family and I had a lovely stay at Sumner Ponds. We chose to stay in the Bluebell Park and my son enjoyed playing in the park and exploring the grounds. The shower and toilet blocks were clean and the showers worked well- we never had to wait to use the showers which was great.
The whole of the Sumner Ponds site is lovely with the added bonus of The Cafe by the Lake. We had a nice drink by the lake one evening and a delicious breakfast one morning. The staff in reception were really friendly and informative when our son wanted to do some fishing. You’re also able to buy food to feed their cows which our son enjoyed.
The only slight downside is that if you’re looking for a campsite completely in nature and in the peace and quiet, this wouldn’t be for you. There is currently building works for a new housing development taking place right next to the campsite- work starts at 8am and goes on until about 4pm each week day. It’s not awful but don’t expect to be having your breakfast to the sounds of birds and nature more jack hammers and diggers! We were made aware of this when we were booking online so it didn’t come as a surprise.
For us, we chose Sumner Ponds for convenience as it’s only 30 minutes up the road and we weren’t looking for completely seclusion- it wouldn’t put us off staying as the site was great and the facilities were great too- we will most likely return next summer (hopefully when the building work is complete!)
翻译:我和家人在萨姆纳池塘度过了愉快的时光。我们选择住在蓝铃公园,我的儿子喜欢在公园玩耍和探索场地。淋浴和厕所区很干净,淋浴效果很好——我们从来不用等待使用淋浴,这很棒。
整个萨姆纳池塘都很可爱,湖边咖啡馆也很不错。一天晚上,我们在湖边喝了一杯好酒,一天早上吃了一顿美味的早餐。当我们的儿子想钓鱼时,接待处的工作人员非常友好,而且很有见识。你还可以买食物喂他们的牛,我们的儿子很喜欢。
唯一的缺点是,如果你想找一个完全在大自然中、安静祥和的露营地,这里不适合您。目前,露营地旁边正在兴建一个新的住宅区——工作日早上 8 点开始,一直持续到下午 4 点左右。这不是很糟糕,但不要指望在鸟儿和大自然的声音中享用早餐,而要听风铃和挖掘机的声音!我们在网上预订时就意识到了这一点,所以这并不意外。
对于我们来说,我们选择 Sumner Ponds 是因为方便,因为它离路只有 30 分钟的路程,而且我们并不追求完全的隐居——它不会让我们放弃入住,因为这里的位置很棒,设施也很棒——我们很可能会在明年夏天回来(希望当建筑工程完成时!)
