Latest Reviews & a Great Offer From The Zetter Group of Hotels
Our latest reviews included a look at the stylish and accessible in N.E. Lincolnshire and The Yorkshire Dales. This included BBS Award Nominee for 2017 – Cottages in the Dales, as well as the Black Swan at Olstead, voted the best restaurant in the world by TripAdvisor – read more here .
We also reviewed Monica Galetti’s restaurant, Mere, where Fiona was pleasantly surprised by Monica herself (she of MasterChef fame). Mere was accessible & inclusive in more ways than one and Fiona appears full of the pre-Xmas spirit!! – See more here.

Equipment Reviews & Test of WHILL!?
Over 2017 we produced a number of reviews of ‘stylish’ and new disability equipment. We called these The ‘D’ List – new things in the world of disability. You can read the latest here where we looked at making a wheelchair go faster! This included a short look at WHILL the new Personal Electric Vehicle. There will be a longer trial of WHILL in February of 2018 so if anyone wants to take a closer look we will have one at BBS Towers to test – email info@bluebadgestyle if you’re interested. Bespoke Access Awards/Competition for Architects & Designers
Bespoke Access have their annual call for all designers and architects to envisage new ways of creating a better hotel experience for people with disabilities – you can read more here but suffice to say there’s £30k available for the winners to develop their ideas. Bespoke Access Awards – £30k for the winners.
That’s all for now but look out for Blue Badge Style in 2018 as there will be some great things happening, we can’t mention them yet but it will be an exciting year for all our followers. It just leaves us to say thank you for your support during 2017 and have a Happy & Healthy New Year, see you on the other side.
