Amazing place!
“We absolutely love Potters. We go to Hopton and Five Laeks - the staff are amazing, the food is excellent, rooms are very clean and the entertainment is brilliant. Loads of activities to keep us busy, with relaxing spa and pool if we want it. We go a few times a year and love every minute.”
