We hope everyone is surviving the storm, and remember – this is what the sea will look like when the winds cease. Be careful, and take care of yourselves, and each other. We Newfoundlanders know how to handle quite a storm!
Purple Office
Guests may not realize it because he’s always on hand to give tours, but co-owner Jerry has quite the desk job, too. He’s recently moved his desk and office over to the Shag It Cafe, which is now closed for the season. This is now his office view (and that of all our Whiteway ‘Berry’ cottages). Can you blame him for making the move?
Another ‘Special’ Weekend at The Doctor’s House
We knew our Fall Specials would be a big hit at The Doctor’s House, but had no idea how much so. Co-owner and marketing genius Laurelyn Berry was right – people really do look to recharge and renew in autumn-time. It makes sense – we’re partied out after summer, and looking down the barrel of the busy holiday season. A relaxing getaway could be just what The Doctor ordered, pun intended! We’re happy to have another weekend filled with coming guests, and know at least some will be hitting this hot tub soon – it’s hard to resist!
More Blogging Love, from Another Lovely Blogger
We’ve been blessed with lots of fun bloggers as guests lately, finding ourselves inspired by their love of travel and their desire to share their stories with the world. Candice Walsh from Candice Does the World recently stayed at The Doctor’s House, and boy, does she live to tell the tale. She particularly loved visiting our animals, and we particularly love her video of them! She’s been travelling all over Newfoundland (she really loved King of Cod Chris Chafe’s cooking!), part of her #SplittheRock Eastern Tour. We were actually part of the last leg of her journey – we can’t wait to see where she does next!
Great Guests, Great Review
Maybe we’re biased, but we do think we attract some of the best guests. We’re often as captivated by their stories and adventures, as much as they’re captivated by our view. It was truly our pleasure to meet Lindsay and Dana, two intrepid travel and food bloggers, traveling across Canada and racking up stories. We’re thrilled that The Doctor’s House made it to the itinerary, and we wish them all the best. And we highly recommend reading their post if you’re curious about what a trip to The Doctor’s House really looks like!
Soggy and Wonderful
What a weekend! We had a great Thanksgiving, and many happy guests. This picture was taken on a soggy Sunday with a malfunctioning camera and only allow a glimpse of the wonder of nature surrounding this piece of heaven. Makes me wish w I had a magic camera or the words to truly capture the beauty of this place!
We’ve been overwhelmed – in a good way! – with the number of guests taking advantage of our Date Night to Remember. It’s a special package at The Doctor’s House, good through November, that features dinner from our fabulous chef and hot breakfast, too. This Autumn is proving a great time to rekindle romance, and we’ve been only too happy to help in that department!
Where the Road Leads
As we wind down our second summer season at The Doctor’s House, we’re reflecting on the long journey that brought us here, and on the journey we’re planning for the future. It’s been a blessing getting to share this beautiful piece of our island with so many great people – including so many beautiful brides and grooms embarking on fantastical journeys of their own. We’re excited for them, and we’ve excited for where our own path may lead. Thanks to our neighbour Paul Seymour for sharing this lovely photo, which clearly has put us in a philosophical frame of mind!
Happy Thanksgiving
We have so much to be thankful for. This has been a busy weekend for us – but that’s just another blessing to add to the list. We hope that you’re able this weekend to take time to take time – enjoy your family, enjoy your good fortune, enjoy this beautiful province we call home. We truly are lucky. And thanks to our neighbour Paul for the lovely photo!
Saturday by the Bay
Thanks to our neighbour Paul Seymour for perfectly capturing that ‘aaah’ feeling you get when you overlook the water. There’s many reasons we Newfoundlanders cling to the coast. We, for one, are very happy that that is the case -we’ve been here for years, and every time we catch a glimpse of the water, we still catch our breath. What a blessing to live on this beautiful island!
Taste of Place
We were thrilled this week to help host what turned out to be a fantastic seminar about Food Tourism. Presented by the Legendary Coasts of Eastern Newfoundland, Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism and ACOA, it was led by the passionate and knowledgeable Rebecca LeHeup. She spoke to the connection between culture, agriculture, food, arts and tourism, and we had a great showing. Topped off with a meal from our own passionate and knowledgeable Chris Chafe (the veritable King of Cod!), we hope our 70 guests enjoyed themselves and learned something in the process!
