Festive Break

My friend and I enjoyed a fantastic Festive Break at Potters Five Lakes. We literally couldn’t have asked for more. Great accomodation, and the food was fabulous. Amazing shows and so much to do if you want to and if you don’t a lovely place to just unwind too! We will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff - you all work so hard to make a perfect break for everyone!

Fourth Visit

Just had our 4th stay at 5 Lakes. Superb once again. I was really looking forward to the Christmas Spectacular and I wasn’t disappointed. It was fabulous! Food, as always was delicious. Our waitress, Elena was was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble for her. I’d just like to make a comment about disabled facilities. Everywhere is ramped. When we were there in the summer, I mentioned that I would have loved to have a go on the clay pigeon shooting and the rifle range but it would be too far for me to walk ( I have a dodgy back). The receptionist immediately offered to take us there on a golf buggy and collect us later. All done with a smile. We’ll be back next year xxxx
