Independent Travel Awards 2015 - your chance to nominate
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Families pay a premium for travelling during peak periods, so getting a holiday right is essential. Are there decent facilities, will little ones be safe running around, will there be enough to keep everyone happy? What about when it rains?
The ever-expanding Pig Hotels empire continues to win praise, for its spot-on food and design and locations that will satisfy the most demanding of young guests - Studland Bay's long stretches of sand being the latest outpost. Not to be outdone, Soho House has come up with its own riposte in the form of Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds, complete with cabins, an ice rink, horse riding, boating, cycling, tennis and swimming pools. Think Center Parcs with Hunters on.
Greece has had a tough year, but Ikos Olivia pushed ahead to open an all-inclusive with a difference in Halkidiki - chic design and Michelin star chef-devised menus just two of the treats in store for its guests.
For simpler pleasures, The Landmark Trust is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a host of events - art installations by Antony Gormley at a handful of its self-catering properties, new properties in Ramsgate and Lyme Regis, and above all, family-friendly rentals that are as easy on the pocket as they are on the eye, with many starting at around £12 per person per night.
