Summer at Madeira in Fife: Treehouses, Festivals & Hidden Escapes

July 30, 2025

Looking for a summer break in Scotland that blends nature, creativity, and coastal charm? Tucked into a tranquil walled estate near the East Neuk coast, Madeira in Fife offers something rare: six cosy cottages and three handcrafted Tree Houses designed for slowing down, celebrating, or simply escaping it all.

Whether you’re planning a romantic mini-moon, a writer’s retreat, or a laid-back weekend with friends, there’s still time to book your summer stay.


🌳 Treehouse Stays in Scotland’s East Neuk

The Tree Houses at Madeira are a favourite for couples and solo travellers looking for something special. Perched under ancient trees, each one offers privacy, comfort, and a little bit of woodland magic. Popular for mini-moonssurprise getaways, and even micro-weddings, they book up fast, but midweek availability is still open for July and August.


🎭 Festivals & Things to Do Nearby

Summer in Fife is rich with local events, art, and food. Here are just a few highlights:

  • Pittenweem Arts Festival (2–9 August): Fife’s best-known art trail, with open studios and exhibitions
  • Bowhouse Markets: Farm-to-table food, artisan producers & a great day out
  • Elie Beach Cricket & Boules: Classic East Neuk traditions with a twist
  • Edinburgh Fringe Festival: Just a 90-minute drive, perfect for a day trip before retreating back to calm

🛏️ Unique Cottage Stays for Couples, Families & Friends

Looking for something with a bit more space? No problem. Our six self-catering cottages are perfect for families, solo escapes, or small groups. Midweek stays are still available this summer , ideal for working remotely or breaking up the week with a countryside reset.

The Studio Cottage is currently being refreshed and will be ready for our August Writer’s Retreat, with more retreats booked throughout the year.


🥂 Celebrate, Slow Down, or Create

Madeira is popular for:

  • Hen weekends with a chill twist: fairy lights, pizza ovens, and fish & chip vans
  • Creative getaways: writing, painting, or simply thinking clearly again
  • Micro-weddings: especially in our woodland glade, where sunlight filters through the trees and guests feel miles away from the world

🌼 Our Local Partners (and Why We Love Them)

We’re proud to work with some of Fife’s most thoughtful local creatives:

  • Simply Pottering: our new flower partners, growing wild, seasonal blooms
  • Tan’s Entertainment: live music, event energy, and community spirit
  • Laura Thomas Co.: artisan candles and body care in all our spaces

Their work adds heart to everything we do and helps us stay committed to sustainability and supporting local.
