Four in a Bed

The participating hoteliers lodge for the night at the Bear Inn in Wincanton, Somerset. The following day, former Army soldier Matt Garvin conducts a full day of survival training for the group at the inn, using his military expertise to challenge the participants.

The Bear Inn is a programme presented as a single episode, centred on a short‑term stay at a historic inn. Its title reflects the location – the Bear Inn – and the format is that of a self‑contained instalment rather than a series. The production is listed simply as a programme, with no further classification beyond its episode status. In the core of the episode, a group of hoteliers spend the night at the Bear Inn, which lies in the village of Wincanton in Somerset. While they’re there, they’re introduced to Matt Garvin, an ex‑Army man who takes charge of the day. Garvin leads the participants through a full day of survival training, using his military background to guide them through the exercises. The setting of Wincanton, Somerset, provides the backdrop for both the overnight stay and the subsequent training session. Throughout the day, Garvin’s role is to impart practical survival skills, drawing on his former service experience. The episode therefore combines the hospitality environment of the Bear Inn with the rugged, hands‑on approach of military‑style instruction, offering viewers a glimpse of how hoteliers might cope with challenging conditions under expert guidance.
