Sunset Sunday: More Sayulita

Sunset in Sayulita mexicoAhhh, there are worse ways to spend a Sunday than this. But, there’s a giveaway that we’re missing home – last night we went to Murphy’s Irish Pub! It’s become a favourite spot of ours. We like to go with friends and talk about Newfoundland. We’ve met a few Newfoundlanders, and lots of Canadians. It’s always nice to be reminded of home!

The Doctor’s Loft

Wedding reception Hall at our Newfoundland resortThanks to Shayla M Brown Photography and the lovely bride Megan who recently shared some of her wedding photos with us, we have this gorgeous shot of The Doctor’s Loft to share with you! The brain child of Laurelyn Berry and the hard work for many dedicated people, this showstopper banquet hall was quite the hit last summer – and we can’t wait for more weddings in 2015!

Rustic and elegant, The Doctor’s Loft can accommodate up to 200 guests with banquet seating, and up to 360 for cocktails.  To learn more, please see here, and don’t forget to join us at the upcoming Devotion Bridal Show!

And Another Happy Couple!

Wedding at our Newfoundland hotelWhen it rains, it pours, and we’ve had several brides share their stunning wedding photos with us lately. Here’s Samantha and Chris, who got married this past August. Samantha’s parents live just down the road from us – it’s always nice to meet our neighbours! Samantha also works in the tourism industry, and told us The Doctor’s House is the most beautiful place she’s ever seen (we’re blushing, but we concur!).

Wedding couple at our Newfoundland hotelSo thanks again to Samantha for sharing these gorgeous photos, and for sharing a part of your special day with us. Congratulations, and we wish you all the best!

Frosty Festival Coming Soon!

Newfoundland winter festivalJerry raised his family in Mount Pearl, so it has a special place in his heart. And since we’re only about an hour outside Mount Pearl, we know lots of our guests hail from this great city. So here’s a friendly reminder that the Frosty Festival is coming up! Hard to believe it’s in its 33rd year – we remember the first! This year they’ve got lots of great events lined up, including an International Food and Craft Fair, Wine Tasting, and live show with Shanneyganock and The Irish Descendents. Not to be missed! Find all the details here.

Getting Busy on Pinterest!

pinterest page for our newfoundland spaOur Whiteway cottages are open all winter, but of course this season is a little slower for us. Which gives us extra time to turn to things like upping our social media game! To that extent, we’ve been having fun jumping into Pinterest. We have an account for The Doctor’s House, and already it’s so much fun getting involved with all you lovely pinners out there! So if you’re on Pinterst, please follow us. And we’re still on the ‘newbie’ side, so if you have any tips, we’d love to hear them!

Sayulita Sunset

Sunset in MexicoYes, we are still in Mexico! We’re here for a few weeks, so it’s a bit of a working trip – each day finds the The Berry and I putting in a few laptop hours each. But thankfully, we get to enjoy sunsets by the pool. Not too shabby!
