Aren't those segways and selfie sticks a dead trend because of how dangerous they are?
You can go abroad for less than it costs to go to potters
Hello Tim, this place looks amazing. I have never heard of it and sadly I am now too old to enjoy it. You have obviously spent a lot of time in America. Your accent is English but you eat and request for your coffee like an American. Really enjoyed your video.
@@TheUluxian ok
Just went to book this for a 3 night break. 2 adults 1 x 10 year old 1 x under 2. Nearly £1800. Out priced I'm affraid but defo not £150 a night more like £600
Great to see you on Resort and thanks for coming to see us x
thanks for letting me come and have a good look round, oh and the dinner :-)
The place looks amazing guys, I even noticed how clean they keep the windows. 🎉
Looks mint! Booking my fam in soon
Never heard of Potters until this ….going to look into booking …
On resort... great grammer that. No excuse you can edit after you type! And send
This is what all holiday parks should be like, well impressed!
If they all were, people who go to the... less salubrious ones... would be priced out.
Yeh , reminds me of my old family holidays in late 80's
I guess not all resorts have a fat budget but then cleansenes does not cost anything. This place has restored my faith in the resort industry
well said Foxy
TheFoxyb we get what we pay in general terms.
I holidayed at Potters as a child with my parents , uncles , aunts and grandparents , 60 years ago . We stayed in those little wooden sheds and had a great time . 40 years ago I took my children there and stayed in the chalets . Again we always had a wonderful time .Great food , lots to do and good accommodation . Its great to know that Potters continues to go from strength to strength . I cannot wait now to take my grandchildren for the complete British holiday experience .
Hey Tim! Thank you for coming to Potters Resort! I’m in the Potters Theatre Company and I’ve been watching your videos for a while now! Love the content! Thank you for the kind words! ✌🏻FD x
Hey Fraser!! :-) xx
thanks Fraser
Omg. Fraser! I saw you last night at the Garden bar at midnight. Your my favourite dancer/singer!
@@transportwithhazza Thank you Harry! Glad you enjoyed your holiday! 😄
@@FraserPUNK yes i did thank you! your such a good singer and dancer
It's clear the owners take a lot of pride in the resort. I think it being family run helps. Also nice to see you go to a holiday park and the activities are actually running! Makes a change from the usual abandoned go-kart course overgrown with weeds.
I agree. That looks like a wonderful place to stay.
As soon as you enter you can tell it was being ran in a highly professional manner. Lovely place indeed, Tim 👍
:-)
Definitely 👍🏻 this is what a well run establishment looks like , I’m almost getting American cruise ship vibes
@@WalkWithMeTim 8:51 - Every-time I go there, my family sits there!
This whole thing reminds me of a cruise ship experience on land. You gotta be the right person to enjoy this sort of thing.
I totally agree. It's way too social for me personally. It's like a mix of a school hall/canteen dining experience with a glorified camping entertainment experience. Way too many people constantly too close. Great review though. A self catering apartment away from all the rabble is my idea of a holiday. I guess some people still like this kind of thing though.
I completely agree
Thought this before he even said it, I've been on cruise ships like the Canberra since a little boy and this was as close a representation on land as I've seen even if it didn't realise it, seemed to have that feeling. will definitely be visiting here.
I thought exactly the same! It did remind me of a cruise ship (in a nice way) and I agree that it would suit some people more than others.
It did remind me of the same.I love air bnb we are back in the Uk and we priced this place up and we got a beautiful place in Lincoln close to the city centre for half the price. And no gooders sometimes you come away to get away from other people. Plus I’m a vegan and I’m quite hard to cater for.
So we tend not to stay in places like this. Plus it can be quite price if you have family like ours as well.
You can just see the difference between owners who take pride in their business and those who literally couldn't care less when you watch this video after seeing some of your Pontin's and worst hotel reviews. The whole atmosphere in this video just seems so much more lively and less depressing! What a lovely place.
I live 4 miles down the road. Potters is magnificent, something for the East coast to be proud of. It has run for years, but, unlike others, the investment has been sustained from day one; it moves with the times and no corners are cut.
the best parts are when you go investigating the empty areas where there's no people lol it reminds me of being a kid and sneaking into the empty conference rooms and stuff
This is an amazing place……yes, not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The entertainment is fantastic, plus the food. Just love it ❤️
true
@@WalkWithMeTim What room class was this? I’m going for a festive weekend in November and it’s Hotel Premier one. Which one did you stay in? 🥰
OMG this place is really nice . History lesson as well amazing tour and footage tim lovely food and freebies
Hey kkrispy, you ok,hot again,looking forward to this one
Hi Tim. You've done it again. You are definitely the champion of the British travel industry. You have presented me with yet another excellent place to visit. The standard at Potters looks 5-star. It would be nice if the other holiday resorts could lift their standards somewhere near. All-inclusive is a great option, so you know how much your week, or weekend will cost without worrying.
Thank you x
Thanks, Steve
I'm British, 58, live in the South East of England and have NEVER heard of Potters! What?! If they ever want to boost their bookings, they need to do some advertising. But it did look great and had that cruise vibe in the restaurant. Another great vlog Tim
They don't need to its always full up all year
I had never heard of this place before watching your video, it's really impressive! Nice to see a holiday park being done right and nice to see you enjoying yourself. Your relief as you walked into the room was palpable. It's the little things: the hangers which mean you don't have to fiddle around hanging up your clothes, the sturdy wardrobes and drawers, matching furniture on the balcony, a clean piano kept in tune, no barbed wire around the perimeter(!) so you can just stroll onto the beach. Amazing. 😎
I am Canadian and I've only been in an all inclusive resort in Huatulco, Mexico and it was a very nice clean sea side resort, I loved it. I'd love to visit the whole U.K., this place looks great, I was disappointed you didn't tell how much you had to spend for all of this.
I'm always very nervous about UK 'holiday parks', but this actually looks lovely. Would happily spend a week here!
I live in England and never heard of this place
@@barry0013 Me too . I know of a Centre Park , but never been in one . Never heard of Potters.
They do 2 breaks, 3 night weekends or 4 night midweek Monday to Friday.
Great video Tim, so good to see there are companies and people who still take pride in what they do, this looks quality !
agree
Absolutely gorgeous I am not a great lover of holiday parks, but this could be a exception.
If only all the UK holiday parks were this brilliant.
The first potters camp is better than most places.
Great video Tim as always ☺️
You could tell the difference between this and the Britannia owned places you've stayed at, from the minute you arrived at reception!
lol
Never heard of this resort. I'm impressed. Not one for stays in resorts such as Pontins etc but this is class and yes most certainly would stay here.
Watched this video last year and booked straight away after watching it. We have just returned from a 3 night weekend and it was fantastic. Thank you Tim for introducing us to it.😊
Wow glad u had a good time if only I was on commission lol
This place looks amazing - great to see the good side of UK hospitality and accommodation
Watching most of the videos of the worst holiday parks I was beginning to wonder if they were all like that in the UK. But no, this is like a cruise ship without the rolling ocean under you. Probably costs far more than the dumps we have seen, but as everyone says, you get what you pay for. Colin
Very nice video Tim, as always.
lol
@@iworkout6912 agree Colin mate can’t be cheap this place haha - think the dumps are few and far between but hard to believe they’re open to the public
I'd never heard of this resort but it looks great. It's good to see a restaurant at an all-inclusive place that doesn't look like a work canteen, too.
It really is!
Yep, ive been here! every year.
This is how all UK resorts should be.
I’ve designed resorts and parks, and without exception,the fundamental ingredient is always the ethos of the owners, their values , together with the housekeeping leaders. They keep the place going// Disney do this impeccably.
Just got back from a four night stay, it really is a fantastic place. Great food, excellent entertainment, beautiful room. So much to do, little beach a stones throw away. The staff are so welcoming, the quizzes and games are good fun, everyone gets involved. I am definetly going back with my family next time.
Looks amazing! Defo the best looking UK holiday park I’ve seen
What a beautiful holiday park! I also had cruise ship vibes in the dining room. I lived the indoor/ out door pool, thats a great idea. Plenty of activities, sports, table tennis, bowls. The room looked very comfortable, would love a bathroom like that.
That Potters resort is seriously nice Tim,I didn't know it was so grand,I have only ever seen it one tv when the bowls was on tv.Thanks for your video
Wow that place looks in another league to other holiday parks!!
Oh wow! Thanks for this video. This might be a good idea for our holiday to the UK. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
thanks Jennifer
I stayed here four years ago and yes it isn't the cheapest but in reality when you factor in all the entertainment and that includes all those pricey activities for the children you would normally be watching your purse for, the entertainment, the food and now all the drinks( that is only in the last two years I think) it is great value. To me it was one of the best holidays I'd had. The whole staffing team want to be there and seem to all live their jobs. It's clean and safe, you can get involved in everything or take yourself off to a quieter part of the resort. I visited in August during school holidays so it was busy but not rediculous. Great place for bigger families and multi generation families it seems. Many people go year on year and I can see why. It looks like it's changed since we visited last time. Hopefully we will return soon 👍
Nice clean place with good foods and great shows. Cant wait to come over there myself now. Would love to see more of these kinda videos. This footage gives good insight for myself to make up my mind for our next Holiday getaways. Thx alot 😄
I wouldn't normally consider paying that much or even booking an all-inclusive holiday in the UK. But after watching your amazingly detailed review I certainly would book there! Wow, what a high-standard resort Potters is, and only a 40-minute drive from my home in South Norfolk.
Another great tour Tim! I forgot about this resort it's great to see it up close.
I was sooo looking forward to this video!!! Me and my family watch your videos in the evenings and we call it the best part of the day. Great video!!!! Lots of love from the cane family
Hi Tim it is so beautiful there. Its like a proper Palace. They really went the extra mile to get this so grand.
Yes I agree
That is impressive Tim I must say , nice promo for potters and well done to them for giving you access they’ll reap the rewards and rightly so 👍
Thank you x
@@pottersresorts omg potters! i love you
Love this potters vlog,looks am amazing place loads of room and plenty to do. Room looked fab too. We always watch the bowls from there. Mrs Potter we call her,wears a different coloured jacket with a flower every day,always sit on an end seat. Thanks for sharing Tim,see you Sunday, love to Gaby Holly and Casper 💞x
This was a blast from the past I used 2 work there & I always look back with fond memories it was a lovely place 2 work & such a nice family feeling, really great video 👏
Loved watching this. Was so great seeing you try a bit of what it has to offer. My last all inclusive holiday was Pakefield back in the day. That was quite a few years ago. I recommend all inclusive, just not many seem to do it. it seems to be half board or self catering. Nice seeing a couple of your fans. Great vlog Tim, thanks.
Absolutely blown away by this ,didn't know the place existed !! Your vid's are infectious , precision photography ,well presented , keep 'em coming if you can ,5 Star stuff.
Terrific tour, Tim. You hit the nail on the head when you said it was rather like a cruise ship. That was exactly my thought on seeing the various rooms. I can well appreciate why it has consistently best reviews. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
This has certainly made me want to give Potter's a try. Looked a lovely, clean place and the food looked really good too. Thanks Tim.
You will not be disappointed, promise you ☺️
Me too
Just had a look for August 2022 Cost for a family of 4 would be £2456.00 for 4 nights. But they are all sold out.
Yikes, didn't realise it was that expensive. I can go to Austria half board in a 4 star hotel for a week for £700
@@wendycopcutt4891 And that is exactly why UK resorts have been struggling for years now. Decades. That is what so many have said to me when I've suggested they holiday in the UK to avoid Covid and travel difficulties - too expensive.
I suspect JP would be very pleased with your walk-round presentation Tim, even though you didn’t get a chipolata with your roast beef! 🤣 Just goes to show what a difference vision, belief, determination and reinvestment can make in the holiday industry! 👏👏👏
lol
I stayed here a few years ago! Me and my partner went during the bowls week as it was cheaper, but it was excellent because it meant that all the activities had minimal or no queues so things like the quad bikes we got to go on a couple of times. I would definitely recommend
Booked a break here after seeing this, can't wait! Thank you for your informative videos x
I'm at Broadland Sands Park Resorts this week and noticed Potters on the way up that same road as the holiday park. Looks nice from the outside, always wondered what it looked like from the inside, and you've answered my question. Looks absolutly amazing!
Looks lovely, had been tempted by the place and this video is a great insight
Thanks for showing us around, it looks very nice 👍
This looks an amazing place. Love the street fair idea: Cheap, cheerful and you interact with people - what a great idea.
This is a beautiful place Tim. It looks so relaxing. Lots of fun activities to enjoy. Great video Tim!! ☀️
This is incredible. I’m SO glad you did this! Like I’ve said before, we just don’t have places like this. I used to work in events and worked at a venue and I know how expensive things like AV and techs and camera, etc, all are, and I can’t believe they have shows like that every night! And that restaurant was incredible. AND I can’t believe alcohol was included! Alcohol is basically the thing that is never included in packages, or if it is it’s a “house white/red” and tap beer. Never spirits! It would be great if you’d add prices to these videos at the end. If not what you paid, then what the general prices are. I think if I’m ever lucky enough to visit the UK (I’d love to because my Dad was born and grew up there and I still have relatives there) I’ll stay at one of these holiday parks instead of a hotel. As long as I can book a good one 😉
Nice! It's got the feel I like. The feeling that you could just grab a few of your favorite things, move them with you, and live in the room quite happily. Love the RUclips button on the remote, since that's mostly what I watch.
So so many lovely memories of this place. It’s always been fab!
Hi Tim, been going to Potters for over 30 years now.. you pointed out the high ceilings in the Garden Bar.. that used to be the sports hall many years ago with a walk way between it and the bar (Was the Bamboo Bar). Heading back there next week. Great video! 👍👍
This is a great video Tim, a real eye opener. Didn't think there was anything this good in this country. Obviously a bit pricey but looks worth it. Cheers
defo
Stumbled across this video. Thank you Tim what a lovely holiday park and hands up to them for giving access ..to make your film.
Thanks Tony , hope u subbed
What a fantastic holiday park , it looked so clean, the meal looked yummy. Thankyou for sharing x
Great video Tim. Just goes to show that a success can be made of a holiday park and they need not decline into rack and ruin. Going to check out the prices now but I bet they are EXPENSIVE!! Many thanks. Fascinating.
thanks for watching Leighton
I've never been to a resort. Absolutely blown away at this place. Really really impressed. I actually want to go there now. Well done 👍
I love your videos Tim, only found your channel a few days ago when I was looking at centre parcs as we've booked for Christmas and was feeling excited. I think this video has given me an idea for next year's festive break, I love the look of this holiday park and the quality and value of the all inclusive aspect is amazing, best I've seen in the UK or Europe by far personally!
Wow, looks like a real treat - although not quite my thing I can appreciate the quality on offer and the hard work gone into the place.
This place looks great! Soooo nice to see we do have some decent stays in the UK
throughly enjoyed this walk with me tim
Nice change of pace for you Tim, a nice holiday park for a change! Looks fantastic (if you like this sort of thing), and I'm sure the price tag is equally fantastic to match, but hey, if I had the cash I'd definitely go there.
Brian Potters doing well since the Phoenix club 😆
Reminds me of being on a cruise ship. Especially the way the main dining room works.
I have not been to Potters, but my Mum and Dad have been. My Dad was there in January for the World indoor bowls, with the indoor bowls club that he belong to here in Hull and I have spotted him in the crowd watching it live, whilst I 'm at home watch on the TV. My dad can't fault the rooms/chalets and food over the years, he as been going. The only time I got to see the resort was on the bus from Great Yarmouth to Lowestoft. My Dad bought my a baseball cap with Potter's leisure resort on it. Great video and have to try it out for myself. My dad should be back down there next January for the Bowls, which is on RUclips and the BBC. Thank you for show us around.
Oh my gosh! I'm so old that I remember going to holiday parks in the late 70's/ early 80's where they still had those wooden chalets just like that one in the Potters museum hahaaa & you had to go to the toilet & shower blocks on the site. So nice to see xx
Love your videos. Great quality content... keep up the good work! 👍
thank you
Love your content Tim keep up the great work 👍🏻
thanks Paul
After so many sub-par places I'm glad you got the chance to experience something really nice for a chance, Tim!
The video quality was so fun to look at, really nice shots! The audio was also excellent, your voice was still clear in the noisy restaurant.
Looking forward to other best of or worst of videos, either is entertaining 😊
thank you !
Great vids Tim
This place isn't just a world away from Pontins, it's the whole Universe away!
and i guess the price also !
Loved watching this my hubby, has taken coach loads here, and stayed in a little staff quarters xx
Yay! Another video! It was so cool to meet you today! ☺️
You too Kerri :-)
This place looks so posh , lovely. Bet the price is a bit expensive but worth it. Very Nice indeed.
Wow. I have never heard of Potters but it looked amazing. Thank you for another great video Tim 😀
My pleasure!
A wonderful place for entertaining people to a holiday as the entire park
looks most exciting and has much to entertain people with !! It is spacious
and beautifully executed with lightings and sleek staircases.The entrance gives a warm welcome.The
restaurant is spacious enough to accommodate big crowds..Its food is definitely delicious, considering the crowds enjoying themselves while dining ! Though it has surpassed a 100 years,yet it seems mod and elegant ! The crowd present,speaks much of its quality.
The place really justifies the rating !!
Thanks for sharing !! ❤️❤️❤️
Great Vid Tim really enjoyed it mate
We go to Great yarmouth every year, and we play bowls. I got my partner to visit Potters for a look round, and the staff were really helpful and treated as if we were guests . He was impressed, but i still can't get him to go for a stay .... Am still working on it even the all inclusive and food won't sway him, and he loves his food 😅😅
A touch of class this place. Expensive but you literally get what you pay for here. The dining hall is designed to be like a cruise ship. Food is pretty good too. All located just two miles from me at Hopton On Sea. I go past regularly on the First Bus 1 or 1A service from Gorleston. Over 1000 watching again let’s get those numbers up and hit the like button. Nice vlog Tim👍
I didn't know that .. yes was a lovey restaurant
Enjoyed your tour of resort and your evening meal yum yum 😋
Looks absolutely amazing place, you would never get bored here ,so much to do and see,
I have had a number of Bowling holidays at Potters and i can honestly say that this Resort is certainly a FIVE STAR resort. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
What an amazing looking place! Great video.. I want to go tomorrow 😀
We have been lucky to stay here several times before lockdown, they used to do one nighter star acts which were excellent sadly since becoming all inclusive they haven’t re introduced them, unfortunately the prices have increased significantly also, their own shows are very good and very professional hopefully we will return someday, thanks for bringing back many happy memories ❤️👍🏻
Great video Tim, and a great insight to what a Potters resort looks like ! Love the look of the place :)
Wow, what an amazing place, gotta be honest, I’ve never heard of it and it’s only a couple of hours away. Very impressive. Great video Tim as usual, many thanks 😊
It's where world bowls championship are held
Have driven past this venue so many times over the years when I'm in Norfolk but had no idea it was so huge. Sadly, I shall have to keep driving by as I had a sneaky look at the prices! But as always, in life, you get what you pay for, and it does look fab. x J x
I'd never heard of Potters until now, obviously I don't move in the right circles! Great video and what an awesome place. I love that you met one of your fans too, I bet he was chuffed to bits, and now he's in one of your videos 😁
Thanks Tim great video very interesting it looks so good and clean look forward to the next Yvonne 😊
Cycled to Hopton from Gorleston and didn't realise it was posh Potters! Think we will have to have a few nights there as it looks fab. Thanks Tim
I went on holiday to potters a long time ago, I don't remember what year it was but I was quite young, maybe I was about 9 (maybe it was 2013). However, I do remember that I was there for a karate competition that was held in the indoor boules hall (I competed but didn't make it far). I was in one of the chalets, and I remember that it was an amazing experience.
Bloody loved that scene transition entering the bedroom!
Lol
Hi Tim. It looked amazing well worth the cost what ever it is. So spotless and clean. It looked like you 5 and 7 star hotels.
Even at the posh holiday parks you get the chairs outside the apartments 😂
lol I noticed
