    “Having just retuned from a week staying at the Old Ambulance House, we were disappointed.”

    The place is very tired and needs an overhaul- it’s hard to believe that it’s only been 3 years since it was renovated. The overall cleanliness of the place wasn’t great, cobwebs all over that were heavy in dust so weren’t new! The flooring to the ground floor is opening up and chipped and in places feels like it’s falling away. The beds are incredibly low to the floor and all mattresses are uncomfortable and thin.

    The place is very tired and needs an overhaul- it’s hard to believe that it’s only been 3 years since it was renovated. The overall cleanliness of the place wasn’t great, cobwebs all over that were heavy in dust so weren’t new! The flooring to the ground floor is opening up and chipped and in places feels like it’s falling away. The beds are incredibly low to the floor and all mattresses are uncomfortable and thin. Everything creaks in the place, floor, landing, doors, beds. The upstairs shower has a note on it saying it leaks, so we didn’t even attempt to use it and just used the downstairs one - which wasn’t ideal with two teenagers, and is also in need of renovation/deep cleaning. First time I used the downstairs sink the plug stuck and I took me about five minutes to get it to release. We left early, as couldn’t face one more night with the uncomfortable sleep (would have left a couple of days earlier but had already made plans).

    Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. Our goal is to give all of our guests the best possible stay. As our previous reviews show. We still however address any issues raised no matter how big or small. The property was in fact finished 4 years ago and has been 95% booked since then with happy holiday makers. Due to this success we’ve had to manually make the house unavailable for December this year to give us a chance to spruce it up. The shower is one of the jobs to be done. It was completely usable for your stay and as the polite note stated, it only leaks if left unattended spraying water onto the cubicle door. This has been the same for nearly a year and has been happily used by all previous guests without any issues. The beds are a little lower as this is to stop guests hitting their heads as they sit up in bed due to low vaulted ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms. The mattresses were replaced this year. They were highly recommended (and the thickest option available) but from experience there is no one mattress that can please every one although most guests state they are comfortable. As for the cleaning I do find that hard to accept as it is cleaned by myself, my wife and our daughter on every change over. Although, the kitchen/dining area did have to have a deep clean after the condition you had left it in. As for the cobwebs, I personally went around the whole house cleaning these from the ceilings and walls a week ago. The house is very rural and we get a lot of spiders this time of year coming in and we do address this. We are sorry that you couldn’t find any positives during your stay as all of our previous guests have Property Owner

The property

Enjoying the wonderful countryside of Somerset in Middlezoy is this detached, converted ambulance station.

The Old Ambulance House, which is part of a decommissioned World War II airfield.

An ideal dwelling for a family of six, the property not only enjoys stylish interiors which encapsulate a mixture of the old and the new, but is an eco-friendly base, with solar panels powering the house during the day and an ample 17kw battery storage for the evenings.

Make your way down a long, private driveway to come across this delightful abode, where the original features can be noticed almost immediately, such as the large doorway.

Park up in the ample off-road spaces and make your way inside to be wowed by the contemporary open-plan living space, with the sitting area offering a seat on the sleek, corner sofa, where you can unwind and watch your favourite TV show.

Move through the space to the fabulous kitchen, a space sporting shaker-style units and containing a wealth of appliances, including a washing machine and a dishwasher!

When the chef of the group has rustled up a tasty dinner, enjoy it at the dining table whilst you catch up on the day's happenings.

As day turns to night, pick one of three tastefully furnished king-size bedrooms to enjoy a well-earned rest in, with one of these resting on the ground-floor and enjoying access to a nearby bathroom and direct access to a private patio, ideal for multi-generational stays!

Continue upstairs to find the latter two bedrooms, both of which enjoy stunning views of the country and are situated near a handy shower room.

The property additionally boasts a large garden, where your furry friends can stretch their legs on the spacious lawn and you can spot the soundless gliders soaring through the sky, courtesy of the nearby airfield.

Due to the property's fantastic location, you will be well-catered to during your stay, as a friendly pub and a village shop can be found via a short walk into the centre of Middlezoy!

Get to know the local area by paying the Westonzoyland Pumping Station Museum, the RSPB areas of Greylake and Swell Wood or the Clarks Village a visit.

Travel a short distance to Bridgwater, where walks along the weaving River Parrett and the canal, tours of the Blake Museum and the Somerset Brick and Tile Museum, along with a round of eighteen holes at Enmore Park Golf Club can be enjoyed!

Be sure to visit Taunton, with its fantastic Golf Course & Adventure Centre, the Blackbrook Leisure Centre & Spa, and Racecourse on offer.

There is still so much left to see in the wider area, with the delights of the Quantock Hills AONB and Exmoor National Park providing outdoor havens for the adventure-seekers of the group, whilst Watchet, Minehead and Burnham-on-Sea offer a range of coastal fun for all ages.

A memorable break, all year-round, choose The Old Ambulance House.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
