I visited Potters Resorts Five Lakes in Essex near London at the end of June for a short break. The resort offers all-inclusive breaks with breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and an all-inclusive range of hot and cold drinks, including alcohol. There are games, entertainment, and other activities to enjoy with a schedule that changes daily and to suit all ages and interests.
I stayed in a spacious room. The resort itself is quite small and situated on a golf course.
There was entertainment every night and into the early hours with dancing. The live entertainment included live music, comedy, and dancing. There were musical music and older music, and it was well-presented. Before the live shows, there was also bingo to play, although I did not win anything.
There were also grounds to walk around, and some of the activies were located a short walk away, such as rally karts, archery, and shooting.
The menus changed daily for lunch and dinner, and there were three course meals and a buffet with a large range of choices and always a roast meal. The desserts also changed daily, but they also had a few desserts on a list that could be enjoyed if the daily offering did not appeal.
I spent a lot of time in the twice-daily craft classes. I had a watercolour class, and later that day I painted a canvas bag.
There was also live music and seating outside.
The favourite craft that I did was the "iris folding", and I loved this.
I also tried my luck at archery (and got a bull's eye) and shooting.
On the last day, I only did one of the crafts, and that was pottery-painting.
I also created "glass painting", but it really wasn't. I won a medal.
There is a huge games room and dance studio too. I also spent a little bit of time in the gym, and there was also a pool and a spa.
I enjoyed my visit to Potters Resorts, but the time went much too quickly.
