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-moons, surprise 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
