  • Peaceful and simple eco-friendly site near Lytchett Matravers
  • A 15-minute drive from Poole and half an hour from Studland beach
  • Firewood sold on site; home kitchen serving weekend evening meals
Neddy Green: a simple, fab and eco-friendly smallholding, just outside the village of Lytchett Matravers. When you see the views from the big and open field you’ll understand why the Neddy Green team cares so much about the environment and have worked so hard to build a place in harmony with it. It’s low-impact all round: composting toilets, a cold water tap and a shelter they call ‘the bar’ that has been, like much of the structures on site, cleverly upcycled for new purposes. Then, there's also an outdoor hot shower where you'll be able to rinse off. Kids are welcome here and they’ll love zooming about the wide open spaces, meeting the resident goats; the camping part of the site is completely car free, so it's a safe environment for kids to run around in as well. Barbecues and campfires are welcome in designated areas and you can buy firewood on site. For eating out, take the country road from the site to a pub with food; a small supermarket is in the village 15 minutes’ walk or a five-minute drive away. The owner also runs a home kitchen called Munch, which sells cakes and hot drinks and hosts curry nights on Fridays and steak nights with a salad buffet on Saturdays just for guests; these meals can be reserved or altered for allergies and intolerances after you've booked. For bigger walks, make tracks to the Hartland Moor Nature Reserve whose wild plains start just outside Wareham (15 minutes’ drive). It’s the backdrop to many of Thomas Hardy’s novels and screen adaptations of the same, full of wildlife and walking routes.

Liked: Satnav brought me to the gate with clear signage - well after dark. There was already a group of people getting to know each other around an open fire. Using my head torch found a suitable spot and was settled very quickly. The place has a gentle relaxed atmosphere. I settled for the night whilst the subdued guitar and bongos continued - gentle and unobtrusive! In the morning was woken by some folk moving around but not too early. I was up and gone by 9.30am. Everything was just as I had hoped. Worth noting too that it is in a reasonably dark sky location if you fancy star gazing. Next time I will try the shower. I needed a no frills, arrive late, leave early, leave no trace site - Neddy Green met my needs! I hope to be back again. Derek

Disliked: Not a dislike, but bookers need to be aware this is a basic facility. Cold sinks, open air shower and composting toilets. As long as you understand that and are ok with it then that is fine.

Local attractions

Surrounded by the moors, Corfe Castle (20 minutes) is well worth clambering about; cool off afterwards on the floating rafts, slides and obstacles of Dorset Waterpark. More watery antics are at the Brenscombe Outdoor Centre in Wareham, from powerboating to paddleboarding and raft building, or just heading to the beach and jumping into the water. It’s around half an hour to Studland beach for kayaking, sandcastles and simple splashing about, and a similar distance to wilder stretches like Kimmeridge and Lulworth. A 45-minute drive will have you at the fossil hunting of Chesil beach. For clifftop walks, the South West Coast Path starts (or finishes) in Poole, 15 minutes away: it's 630 miles long in total, but the marked trails deliver grand views and wildlife all the way along. Perhaps take the ferry from Sandbanks to Studland to drive to Swanage for a seven-mile stretch between Swanage and Pool. The geological site of Old Harry Rocks is also in Studland. Take a trip from Poole Quay to Brownsea Island, a nature reserve with walking trails and rare red squirrels. Splashdown, a water park in Tower Park in Poole with slides, chutes and pools, has plenty to screech about. The combined attractions of Monkey World and the Tank Museum in Bovington (15 and 20 minutes) will also keep everyone’s monkeys amused.
