If you haven’t yet experienced a break at Potters Resorts, it’s easy to understand why the ‘fully inclusive’ concept might come with a few preconceptions. After all, when it comes to UK family holidays, nowhere else offers a truly all-in-one holiday experience like this, one designed specifically with family fun, relaxation, and ease in mind.
We even changed how we talk about it. What used to be “All-Inclusive” is now proudly called Fully Inclusive, to better reflect not just what’s included, but how it’s delivered. And trust us, it’s a world away from the stereotypes you might have in your head.
Myth #1: “The food’s probably a bit like a buffet, right?”
Not even close. Our dining experience is central to your family break—and far from basic. At dedicated times of the day, you can look forward to sitting down in our vibrant restaurant and tucking into great food from carefully crafted seasonal menus for adults, to dedicated children’s menus. Meanwhile, fresh self-serve areas provide both additional variety and quality.
No one goes hungry on family breaks at Potters Resorts Hopton-on-SeaWhether you’re devouring a hearty breakfast, enjoying a three-course lunch, or sitting down to a delicious evening meal, we make sure there’s plenty for even the fussiest of eaters as well as most dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
"Food WOW — best we all have ever tasted and such a variety."
- sueallen1951, Tripadvisor, May 2025Better yet, it’s not just the bill you can forget about. Your table is yours for the duration of your stay, with a friendly server on hand throughout, so you can forget about reservations or rushing around to grab a table, too. It’s relaxed, it’s comfortable, and effortlessly enjoyable.
At Potters, meal times have never been so easy!
The Garden Restaurant, Potters Resorts Hopton-on-SeaMyth #2: “Unlimited drinks? Sounds chaotic!”
Again—nope. While it’s true that all your drinks are included, that doesn’t mean you’re battling big crowds at the bar. Quite the opposite. We’ll take your order at our well-placed order points and bring everything to your table, so you can carry on enjoying the fun, activities and live entertainment.
Complement outdoor entertainment with your favourite drink in handOur welcoming bars provide a massive choice of inclusive drinks, from morning until night. From milkshakes, mocktails, juices and fizzy favourites for the kids, to luxurious coffees, beers, wines and spirits for the grown-ups, your tab is already covered.
"You can leave your purse at home."

At the same time, breaks are all about ease, not excess. We don’t accept bookings from hen and stag parties, and we actively discourage irresponsible drinking.
Fully Inclusive at Potters simply provides a place for you and your family to relax and have fun in safe surroundings, without the dreaded bar bills.
Myth #3: “I bet you have to book all the activities before you arrive…”
Not here. While other UK family holidays might have you scrambling, the beauty of a Fully Inclusive Family Break at Potters is the freedom to jump in or simply chill out. There’s no pressure, no sign-up battles, and no need to plan every minute of your day in advance.

Yes, everything is included—your food, drinks, activities, entertainment, and of course, accommodation—but it’s about so much more than that. It’s about how it’s all delivered by our award-winning team. With care, thoughtfulness and the goal of creating completely stress-free but fun-filled UK family holidays.
There’s no clock-watching. No budgeting once you’re here. No working out how much extra that night cap will be, or wondering whether you can fit in a round of archery before dinner. It’s all been thought of, and it’s all designed to help you switch off, have fun, and make the most of every precious moment.
At Potters Resorts, Fully Inclusive means freedom. The freedom to eat, drink, play, laugh, dance, relax, and do as much—or as little—as you please. It’s the freedom to just say “YES!”
And once you’ve experienced it, you’ll wonder why every holiday isn’t like this.
Not convinced?
Well, thankfully, you don’t just have to take our word for it.
