The world’s leading travel platform has placed Potters Resorts Hopton-on-Sea in the highest-rated destinations on the planet.
The news follows Tripadvisor’s prestigious Travellers’ Choice Awards, based on millions of traveller reviews, with the top 1% highlighted as the Best of the Best.
This outstanding achievement recognises the very highest level of hospitality excellence and guest satisfaction, marked by a new gold emblem on the Tripadvisor listing.
And that’s not all. Potters Resorts Five Lakes has also retained its Travellers’ Choice Award for the second consecutive year, maintaining its position in the top 10% of global listings. Since opening in May 2022, Five Lakes has quickly become a guest favourite. This accolade reaffirms its growing reputation for quality and guest satisfaction.
Five Lakes has retained its Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for the second consecutive yearThis latest news comes hot off the heels of both Resorts retaining 5-Star status from Visit England earlier in 2025, and Hopton-on-Sea winning Good Hotel Awards’ Gold Seal in late 2024.
A Moment of Pride
John Potter expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Potter Family and the entire team: “To see Hopton-on-Sea placed among the very best in the world, and Five Lakes continuing to shine, is a proud moment for everyone at Potters.
“Such recognition, along with our 5-Star and Gold Seal Awards, reflect the hard work and commitment of our exceptional team, and the unwavering support of our wonderful guests. It inspires us to continue delivering the best breaks in the UK.”

Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice and Best of the Best Awards are based on millions of real reviews and ratings from travellers across the globe, making it among the most meaningful recognition in the hospitality industry.
Only businesses that consistently receive outstanding reviews and ratings, going above and beyond to delight guests, receive either award. But being crowned in the Best of the Best category is an achievement that very few get to celebrate.
“Congratulations to Potters Resorts Hopton-on-Sea on its recognition in Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best for 2025,” said Kristen Dalton, President, Tripadvisor.
“Ranking among the top percentage of businesses globally means you have made such a memorable impact on your visitors that many of them took time to go online and leave a glowing review about their experience. Travellers rely on Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best lists to help them navigate the myriad things to see, eat and do across the globe.”
Consistent Excellence Across Both Resorts
Hopton-on-Sea has now been awarded Tripadvisor accolades for over a decade, reflecting its long-standing reputation as a favourite destination for unforgettable getaways.
Meanwhile, Five Lakes continues to grow in popularity since opening in May 2022. Guests have consistently praised its modern facilities, beautiful countryside location, and welcoming team.
