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.It’s no easy decision whether to splash out on a hotel if you’ve got kids, particularly in the UK, where disapproving hotel management, not to mention the other guests, can leave you wishing you’d gone self-catering or camping instead. It can be baffling for parents who find themselves double checking the website and finding that, sure enough, it did say the words 'family-friendly'.
The problem is that while some hotels like the idea of opening themselves up to hoards of littluns, they’re not so keen on the reality of the little cherubs running down corridors and demanding fish fingers for tea.
We have scoured the British Isles to find you the best of the truly family-friendly hotels, so that you can book in knowing your offspring – whether a baby or teen - will not just be tolerated but genuinely welcomed, with thoughtful touches and kid-orientated activities. None of this means adults can’t relax though. Indeed, the hotels we’ve selected don’t just look after children really well – they also ensure adults can relax, too.
