When it comes to exceptional getaways, Potters Resorts Hopton-on-Sea on the Norfolk coast provides a 5 star family experience that has firmly established itself as the best holiday in the UK.
How? Well, for over a century, we’ve been a family-owned business ourselves, and have a history of always raising the bar when it comes to family holidays.
And now, as the UK’s only provider of fully inclusive family breaks during the school holidays, you get to experience what holidays are truly meant for; quality time together.

What’s a family break at Potters Resorts all about?
While low headline prices from others might grab your attention, those family holiday costs can later soar with extra passes, activities and bills. But at Potters, all those hidden extras that add up elsewhere simply don’t exist.
Put simply, we’re your passport to worry-free family fun, entertainment and relaxation.

Nowhere else in the UK can you enjoy so much value in one simple price. Comfy accommodation, delicious food, a huge choice of drinks, a dazzling array of activities, leisure and sports, plus fun daytime entertainment and West End-quality shows are all included, without ever needing to reach for your pockets during your stay. Potters is a place where you and your loved ones can simply indulge.

But while all that value is important, what makes Potters such a special holiday destination for families is its welcoming community. From an award-winning and happy team taking care of everything to a friendly and joyful family atmosphere, there’s a sense of connection here that you won’t find anywhere else, making every moment a holiday highlight.

You don’t just have to take our word for it
Given all the above, it’s no wonder we’ve received such widespread recognition.
Our resort at Hopton-on-Sea holds 5 Star status from Visit England and has done for the last 23 years. Readers of Which? have put Potters at the top of their Best UK Holiday Parks and Resorts independent survey since 2022, beating all those other household names in the process.
![Awards received by Potters Resorts Hopton-on-Sea](https://qnm.fd9.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Socials-Family-Version-1113x371.jpg)
Consistently glowing reviews from guests have seen us consistently win Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Award. And, with a Gold Seal from Good Hotel Award in 2024/25 for good measure (one of only 80 properties in the UK), our fully inclusive family breaks set the benchmark for quality.
Why have I never heard of Potters Resorts?
As a family-run business competing against the private-equity big boys in our industry, we can‘t compete when it comes to big, elaborate TV campaigns. Instead, the secret to our success for over a century has been the strong word of mouth of families who’ve visited, had a brilliant time, and then returned. But not before telling all their friends and family about their Potters experience.

With over 80% of first time visitors coming back, combined with a Customer Happiness Score® of over 93 in 2024, that makes Potters perhaps the best kept secret in the UK.
