Our Purpose
Rooted in Wellbeing
"Built on the legacy of Betty and Jess, The Yew Tree Connections exists to remind us to slow down, reconnect and spend meaningful time with the people who matter most."
Built on the legacy of Betty and Jess. Inspired by the place that brought us together.
The Yew Tree Connections was born from a place that has always meant far more than bricks and mortar.
Nestled amongst woodland in the Herefordshire countryside sits Yew Tree Cottage, a home lovingly cared for by Betty and Jess for many years. It was a place where family gathered, stories were shared, meals were enjoyed around the table and visitors were always welcomed with warmth, kindness and generosity.
Like many special places, Yew Tree Cottage became woven into the memories of everyone who spent time there. It was a sanctuary from the busyness of everyday life, a place to laugh, reconnect and simply be together.
Following Jess' passing, it became clear that the cottage deserved to continue bringing people joy. Rather than allowing its story to end, The Yew Tree Connections was created to honour their legacy and ensure that the warmth they shared with others could continue for generations to come
Today, The Yew Tree Connections offers a growing collection of retreats, personalised stays and immersive experiences designed to bring people together in meaningful ways.
Whether you're reliving childhood adventures through Brownies Revived Retreats, uncovering secrets within The Traitors Experience, restoring your energy at a Women's Wellness Retreat, escaping to a Christmas wonderland, enjoying a bespoke Signature Collection stay or simply spending time with the people you love most, every experience has been thoughtfully created with connection at its heart.
At its core, The Yew Tree Connections believes that life moves quickly, and the moments we spend with family, friends and ourselves are often the moments we treasure most.
Our aim is simple.
To create experiences that encourage laughter.
To nurture wellbeing.
To celebrate friendship.
To honour traditions.
To make lasting memories.
And to ensure that the spirit of Betty and Jess lives on in every guest who walks through the door of Yew Tree Cottage.
We hope you'll come and be part of the story.
Warmly,
Sabrina
