Retreat to Madeira in Fife: A hidden gem in the East Neuk, perfect for weddings, retreats & family breaks


A hidden gem in the heart of Fife’s East Neuk, this peaceful oasis of calm is a place to escape, relax, and be yourself
As you arrive along the drive, you are immersed in a world of ancient trees and old stone walls – a move into the warm and welcoming world of Madeira in Fife.
Tucked away from the hurly burly of everyday life, the 10 acres of wild gardens are a great place for families and groups of friends to base themselves for a weekend.
And the range of accommodation – from sumptuous tree houses to idyllic cottages – means this a great place for a holiday, wedding or celebration, as well as retreats for groups and organisations.


And during your stay, everything is tailored to your needs, not a stuffy set plan.
Tara said: “Our approach is to listen to what you are thinking about and draw up a plan. We don’t really provide ready-made packages, we ask what you want and pull out all the stops to provide it.
“Whether it is a family break, wedding, yoga retreat, or even a corporate weekend we can organise and cater for almost anything. Or, we can leave you in peace to relax and make the most of your stay if you are here for a holiday.”
A place of calm, nature and adventure for family and friends
There are lots of woodland paths for children and adults to explore. Tree swings, fairy doors and fairy post boxes make it a magical place for kids.
And when it comes for somewhere to stay the fully equipped, cosy cottages make a short-break or holiday extra special. Depending on numbers there is lots of flexibility with twin or super king beds in the cottages, making them perfect for groups or parents with small children. You can hire one or several cottages depending on your party size
As lovely as the setting is, there are plenty of places to explore on the doorstep. The beaches in the area are some of the best to be found, anywhere. And the East Neuk has a big focus on food, art, music and artisan markets in the string of pretty villages along the coast.


Make your big event a unique occasion
Madeira in Fife is a superb place to have your wedding, or big celebration. The relaxed environment and exclusive use means you can plan your weekend just how you want it. Everything can be organised for you, or you can do it your own way, or enjoy something in between. There is a great list of local suppliers the experienced staff can recommend, or you can bring your own favourites. And because your family and close friends can stay on site, small, medium and large events are all possible.
We’re waiting for our first ever elopement wedding and the Tree Houses would be a wonderful place to celebrate it. Built for just two people with a hot tub or bath high on the deck and the wood burners mean they are brilliant in all seasons.


Retreat to a first-class location
Madeira in Fife is also a fantastic place for retreats – yoga, dance, writing or corporate are all catered for.
The space is very flexible and the team can arrange everything to suit what a family, group of friends, retreat organiser, couple or business wants.
An all-year experience

Tara said: “We are all about people making memories. It’s about the feeling people get when they come up the drive. It’s about sharing time with friends and family or having a great base to holiday or work in the East Neuk. It’s about celebration and it’s about having a wonderful experience.”
