1st August 2026 - 2 Night Taster Weekend

Delicious Food

Fully Inclusive at Potters Resorts means four meals a day, served in the Eden Restaurant, a relaxed dining room with a natural, garden-inspired feel that perfectly reflects Five Lakes' relaxed atmosphere.

A hearty breakfast sets you up for the morning, there's a 3-course lunch to fuel your afternoon, and a 3-course dinner before the evening's entertainment. And should you feel a little peckish later on, a late night dish is there to see you through!

You'll have your own table throughout your stay, so with no bookings to think about and nothing to settle at the end, simply take your time over good food in good company.

Our chefs cater for most dietary requirements, so please feel free to discuss this with our friendly team at time of booking.

Comfortable Accommodation

With Premier rooms as standard, a quality and comfy room awaits you for a great night’s sleep. Perfect for friends and couples, Five Lakes offers twin and double bedded accommodation in either the peaceful Village a short walk from the main Resort, or the Hotel close to the main facilities. With upgrades also available offering beautiful views of the countryside, even your room at Five Lakes will be a holiday highlight this summer.

Jam-packed Activities

With 333 acres of Essex countryside to enjoy, there's plenty to do at Five Lakes and no pressure to do any of it. Take aim at archery, laser clays and air rifle shooting, or have a go at Fun Axe Throwing. Take a peaceful row on the boating lake, a spin on the karts, or a game of pickleball or tennis out in the grounds. Indoors, our Sports Park has bowls, snooker, pool, darts and more, ready for whatever the weather's doing. And for a slower pace, the Orangery is a quiet spot for chess, cribbage or draughts.

New for this summer!
Ease into the morning with Outside & Stretch, Better Balance or a new Aqua Class in the pool, then test yourself with Countdown, Rock Busters or our Interactive Quiz. There's Field Archery to try, relaxed tournaments in Bridge, Qwirkle and Mexican Train Dominoes, and a lively Country Afternoon to round things off. As ever, no two days are quite the same and you'll always find something new to do.

West End Quality Entertainment

At Potters Resorts Five Lakes, the nights come alive in our state-of-the-art Glade Theatre, while The Garden Bar sets the stage for live music and comedy throughout the day.

This Mid-Summer, the Potters Theatre Company presents Simply The Best, AMPLIFIED! and The Cabaret Club.

With spectacular performances and world-class production, it’s no wonder our entertainment keeps guests coming back year after year.
