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”

First visit of many
Wow why haven't I been here before? This place has it all in abundance. Great all inclusive food and drink. Activities all day long and high class evening shows. We liked it so much we booked again for next year before we left. The staff were extraordinary and friendly. The entertainment staff are so talented and have you smiling and laughing all day long. We also did activities we have never done before such as archery and rally karts.

Simply the best
Having stayed with one of Potters' competitors for the last five years and noting their standard are sinking drastically, we thought we would try Potters Resorts on recommendation. What can I say but simply fantastic. Everyone who works at Potters does the name proud. It's unfair to single anyone out for individual credit because they all are everything you need to make the break memorable. The rooms, the food, the shows, everything is simply the best. Thank you one and all for making our break celebrating my wife's birthday one of great memories. We will be returning next year; as we loved it so much we rebooked straight away!

The best holiday in the UK
We visited last year and were overwhelmed with the quality and service they provide. This year was no different. From the restaurant staff to the bars, the entertainment staff and the shows... everything is at such a high standard and everyone is friendly and so helpful. The food is second to none and it's advised to start the diet after the break! You want for nothing and there is always something to do whatever time of day. Well worth the cost of the holiday as I didn't need to use my wallet at all. We can't wait to return soon.
