'Above the Bear' has been newly renovated and reflects the heritage of our beautiful rural town and surrounding area - all with a real country feel.
The space is laid out over two floors - with the bedrooms and main bathroom on the top floor, and downstairs there's a comfortable lounge (with double sofa bed), kitchen and dining area as well as a WC and space to store muddy boots.
The compact, but well-equipped, kitchen allows for self-catering throughout your visit - and if you fancy aday-off then our highly regarded pub below, The Bear Inn, serves meals 7 days a week from 9am - 9.15pm.
Wiveliscombe itself offers many things to do, including a seasonal heated Lido and several independent shops and eateries.
Being the 'Gateway to Exmoor', as well as having the stunning Quantock and Black-down Hills both on our doorstep, there is no shortage of stunning walks and bike rides to choose from... all just minutes down the road.
If towns are your thing then Wellington and Taunton are both just a short car or bus ride away and the bigger cities of Exeter or Bristol can be easily reached by car or from Taunton train station.

    The apartment was so well fitted out. Nice and clean. Attention to detail was off the scale of fantastic. Would love to come again to stay in the Bear Inn.

    The apartment was excellent, spacious and well equipped. The welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, scones, butter and jam was much appreciated after a long journey. Very comfortable bed.
