The Annexe at Yew Tree Cottage offers the perfect retreat for two, whether you’re planning a romantic escape, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying quality time together in the beautiful English countryside. Our 4 Star Gold Award cottage has been thoughtfully designed to provide the ideal setting for couples seeking comfort, tranquility, and a touch of luxury.
Nestled in the charming village of Wick, our cottage provides that rare combination of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to the region’s most treasured attractions. Just 9 miles from the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath and 10 miles from vibrant Bristol, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds—countryside tranquility with city culture just a short drive away.
Space Designed for Two
The Annexe features a sumptuous king-sized bed with high-quality cotton linens, ensuring restful nights after days of exploration. The west-facing bedroom catches beautiful sunsets, while the comfortable living area offers the perfect space to unwind together. Our fully-equipped modern kitchen makes dining in a pleasure, though numerous excellent restaurants and country pubs are within easy reach when you prefer to dine out.
A Romantic Retreat
Create lasting memories in our beautiful gardens, where you can enjoy private alfresco dining while listening to birdsong and watching hot air balloons drift gracefully across the sky. The peaceful setting creates natural opportunities for connection away from the distractions of everyday life—whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, enjoying a honeymoon, or simply taking time to reconnect.
Enjoy the great outdoors
For couples who love the outdoors, The Annexe serves as the perfect base for exploration. The famous Cotswold Way and numerous local footpaths are right on your doorstep, offering walks for every ability. After a day of adventure, return to comfort with our power shower to refresh tired muscles and the cosy living area to plan tomorrow’s journey.
Cultural Experiences
Immerse yourselves in the rich cultural heritage of the area, from Bath’s Roman history and Georgian architecture to Bristol’s maritime past and vibrant arts scene. Visit nearby National Trust properties like Dyrham Park, explore picturesque villages, or discover the literary connection to “Black Beauty” author Anna Sewell, whose former home sits just down the lane from The Annexe.
Accessible Comfort
Our single-storey cottage features level access throughout most of the property, making it particularly suitable for couples where one or both may have mobility considerations. The thoughtful layout ensures comfort and ease of movement, while high-contrast décor benefits those with visual impairments. We believe that romantic, quality accommodation should be accessible to all.
Remote Working Retreat
For those unable to leave work entirely behind, our reliable Wi-Fi and comfortable setting make The Annexe perfect for the digital nomad couple. Balance productive mornings with afternoon explorations, or take turns working and relaxing in the peaceful environment that enhances focus and creativity.
The Annexe at Yew Tree Cottage welcomes couples year-round, offering the perfect setting to experience the changing seasons in this beautiful part of England. From spring blossoms to summer sunshine, autumn colours to winter cosiness, our cottage provides the ideal accommodation for two people seeking quality, comfort, and connection in the perfect location.
