"My room was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed ie hairdryer, shower jel and tea and coffee). The bed was comfy a little soft for my personal taste but very comfy) with very good quality pillows. Normally in hotels I need an eye mask due to too much light, but here the room was nice and dark, giving me a good nights sleep. The hotel is on a main road which is noisey in the day but even though my room was facing the road it was quiet at night . It didn't effect my sleep. The bar area was nice with friendly staff. I was a bit disappointed by the choice of beers , in a countryside Inn I would have liked some local real ales. But I did have a nice pint if Timothy Taylor. I was disappointed that I stayed during a very wet British summer because the beer garden area looked stunning. Hopefully the sun will shine on my next visit. Evening meal in bistro lived up to the 2 AA rosettes . The wine was good quality and reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and service is efficient. Although it's a nice small menu I was spoilt for choice . A good mix of traditional dishes and dishes with a nice modern twist. Plenty of fish and vegan options as well as steaks. One thing I don't like is when restaurants put a bit of paper on the plate under the fish and chips . I don't get why they do it, its not needed . Overall great stay . It deserves the AA stars."

"If the site would let me give this place a 5 star then I would !! If you live in Halifax you have to try this place and if you live further afield then it’s worth the journey trust me !!! They cater for absolutely everybody. I’m a vegan and a coeliac so it’s not always easy to find somewhere that’s accommodating but accommodating and friendly is exactly what the Winterburn is. There more than happy to answer any questions about the menu and the landlady and landlord Lucy and Ozzy will come to your table and bend over backwards to cater and recommend anything you need, it’s such a lovely and relaxed atmosphere. Everything is clearly printed on the menu and all the vegan options are there in front of you from the start so you don’t have to ask for a special menu and feel like an after thought. Let’s talk about the delicious food. Starters I had the soup lovely mushroom and nice and thick. Mains a beautiful mushroom risotto, plenty of flavour and a wonderful mix of wild mushrooms absolutely beautiful and for desserts a gluten free, vegan chocolate fudge cake with vegan ice cream absolutely delicious and something I certainly wasn’t expecting, they have lots of options for everyone and also asked about vegan recipes as there always looking to change things up and add more options to the menu. Great atmosphere great owners and staff and fantastic well presented food, also a great selection of vegan drinks, I would recommend this little gem to anyone and will certainly be making it my regular spot. I would recommend booking"
