A lovely weekend away with no responsibilities
We are huge Potters fans having stayed at Hopton-on-Sea over 8 times. Indeed, my wife calls Potters my “happy place”. This was our first stay at Five Lakes. Like Hopton-on-sea, the all inclusive prices are not cheap, but from arrival to departure you do not need to spend a single penny (unless you play Bingo or buy a newspaper).

5 star break excellent
We went with a coach party. It is a really good place. It was spotless the staff were friendly and helpful. Usually coach groups are treated like 2nd class guests but not here. There are loads of things to do and the entertainment was good. Food was excellent..We had a room in the Village which was warm and spacious.
