Snaptrip says

The Old Ambulance House in Somerset is consistently praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and quiet location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, comfortable beds, and the large garden, which is especially enjoyed by children and dogs. The thoughtful touches, such as welcome gifts, have been well received. While some guests suggest minor improvements, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests frequently commend the property for its cleanliness, noting it as spotless and well-maintained. The fresh smell of bedding and the immaculate condition of the property contribute to the high score.

The property's secluded and quiet setting is appreciated, with mentions of wildlife sightings adding to its charm. However, some guests noted the nearby road can be quite busy, slightly impacting the score.

The comfort of the property is well-regarded, with large beds and a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Points were deducted due to comments about the lounge seating and fridge size not accommodating six people comfortably.

The property is praised for its high standard of facilities, but some guests suggest the addition of more kitchen utensils, coathangers, and outdoor seating. The need for an iron and ironing board was also mentioned.

The presence of welcome gifts and a welcome pack has been noted and appreciated by several guests, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. However, it should be politely noted that such gestures, while common, are not guaranteed.

About this 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.

Middlezoy is a lovely little village located between Westonzoyland and Yeovil. There are a variety of activities available in the village, including walks along the meandering River Parrett, visits of the Westonzoyland Pumping Station Museum, and excursions of the neighbouring rspb area of Greylake and the lovely Millenium Wood.
