It’s the simple stays that stick with you – and those at Little Hill Farm are likely to be rather memorable, what with its spot five miles from the New Forest National Park and 20 minutes’ drive away from Bournemouth. This back to basics site is all about quality time… in the forest, playing football on site or relaxing on the beach – you name it. What might you expect here? Little Hill Farm has heaps of space, including a huge field that's been set aside for families to have a friendly footy match, walk the dog or simply relax on the grass. There are toilet and shower blocks on site, along with fresh running water. Handily for any keen hikers or those who consider family walks a must for any getaway, there are excellent trails within five to 10 minutes’ drive of the site. You can count Moors Valley (10 minutes’ drive) among the options – the country park has lots of wooded trails and for those who’d rather take in a birds’ eye view, there’s a Go Ape obstacle course with zipwires.

Local attractions

First up: the sea? Whether you’re zipwiring from the pier in Bournemouth (20 minutes’ drive), building sandcastles, strolling in the gardens or riding the land train, the town’s a good introduction to the south coast. Get even more acquainted with the coast in Milford on Sea (40 minutes), a New Forest sailing spot that's popular for its clifftop hikes, beaches and sailing trips. Don’t count out Poole (half an hour) either, which has an old town, museum and a harbour where you can board a boat to Brownsea Island to see its castle and walk along trails where you might spot red squirrels. If you don’t spot any wildlife there, not to worry, there are many more animals at Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World (half an hour) – yes, and the obvious Peppa Pig-themed rides too. Perhaps you want something that’ll get you moving some more… If so, New Forest Water Park (20 minutes) has an aqua park, wakeboarding, kayaking and paddleboarding activities. Also in the national park is the Blackwater Arboretum (half an hour), where there are splendid strolls past some of Britain’s oldest Douglas Fir trees.
