Do you remember Patrick & Victoria, the gorgeous couple from Glovertown who got married at The Doctor’s House this summer? Of course, we’d never forget such a sweet couple, which is why we’re so excited to see and share this stunning video, created by Media Magic. Pre-warned – you might need a box of tissues by the end!
Clifford’s Ready for Alice’s Tea Party – Are You?
Newfoundland artist extraordinaire Clifford George is ready for Alice’s Tea Party – are you? We’re so excited that the Whiteway Spring Hare and the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council are bringing the beloved Spring Hare tradition to The Doctor’s House this September, where Alice, and the best Newfoundland artists around, will be heralding an afternoon tea party!
Experience the best of Newfoundland art, including artists, poets and musicians, while you linger in our English gardens, on September 21 from 1-5pm. We’re delighted for another chance to celebrate art and community, and will be looking forward to experiencing the talents of artists J.C. Roy, George Horan, Ilse Hughes, Sylvia Benza, Kathleen Knowling, Sarah Fletcher, Clifford George, Wayne George, and Renee Harnum, poets Dorothy McIntosh-Harvey and Robert Bissett, and musicians Gerry Strong and Fred Humber (phew, that’s a long list!).

Don’t Forget About our Fall Specials!
It’s been a beautiful fall, and we’re pretty confidant it’s going to stay that way! Of course, even when the storms come, when you have a warm place to cuddle up, you almost welcome them. The Berry has come up with some great fall specials, so that more people can enjoy a getaway to the ocean’s edge this fall – we hope to see you soon!
Blurry, but Nice!
After a long day of work, this is my favourite place to retire – at Hopeall Point, on the oceanfront of our property at The Doctor’s House. We have some chairs here, and it’s so restorative – especially on a beautiful fall evening, like when I took this picture. It’s a little blurry, but no picture could it justice anyway. I always recommend that our Doctor’s House couples come down here, alone, the night before their wedding, to reflect and connect before their big day. Because it’s pure magic, and I can’t think of a better way to kick off a new life together. Happy Saturday.
Starting Your Weekend Off with a Little Love!
This beautiful photo was taken by MK Photography, at a recent wedding at The Doctor’s House. A truly beautiful picture of a truly beautiful couple – congrats again to Christa and Bhasker! We know this couple had a great time, and we are so happy to have shared such a great day with them. Wedding season is starting to winding down, and already we can’t wait for the next one!
Get Knitting in Brigus this September 9!
If you love Brigus (who doesn’t) and knitting (many of us do!), then there’s a fun event coming up next Tuesday. The Landfall Trust of Brigus asked us to pass along the following info, and we’re more than happy to do so!
Hello Fellow Knitters!
It’s time for the Second Annual Landfall Trust Knitters Outing. Spend a wonderful day knitting with friends at Kent Cottage, Brigus. Learn new skills and benefit the Landfall Trust at the same time!
Your $60 registration fee will earn you the chance to master two delightful mystery knitting projects. Knitting yarns and notions will be provided by Shirl the Purl and an elegant lunch (with vegetarian and gluten-free options) by Milly Brown. Bring only your needles (size will be specified later), a hearty appetite, lots of enthusiasm, and a folding lawn chair for alfresco knitting in the afternoon if it’s a fine day.. The session will run from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, on Tuesday, September 9th at Kent Cottage in Brigus.
Limited to 12 participants. Last year’s event was sold out quickly! You can register by emailing me at admin@landfalltrust.org or phoning me at 743.8244. Let your other knitting buddies know.
Family Getaway
Amy is a former colleague of Jerry’s, so it was a special treat to have her bring her parents for a family getaway at our Cranberry cottage last weekend. We love all our guests, of course, but it’s always fun to catch up with old and dear friends. Amy hasn’t changed (and that’s a very good thing!), but she’s expanding her business as a Writer and Communications Specialist, so it was fun to hear about her plans.
The Cranberry has two bedrooms, making it ideal for multi-generational family getaways. And with Shag Rock offering the perfect photo-op off your back deck, you’re sure to get some great pics for remembering your weekend away. Thanks to Amy for sharing this one, which we also suspect may end up framed on her mantle!
And please don’t forget, we have some great fall specials that make a trip to the Cranberry, and all our luxury cottages, even better!
Glowing Cranberry
Thanks to our old friend, Amy, for sharing this stunning photo, captured on her recent trip to Ocean Delight. This, of course, is The Cranberry , our newly built, two-story and two-bedroom honeymoon suite. Guests here enjoy a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, premium furnishings, upper and lower decks, a barbecue and fire pit, and this a 2-person soaker tub – and yes, that is ocean as far as the eye can see. Please remember we have a Couples’ Fall Getaway Special that lets you experience all the romance yourself, so check it out – you and your partner won’t regret it!
New Fall Specials – at Ocean Delight, and The Doctor’s House!
Maybe it’s just us, but when we think about Fall, about the cooler nights that ask for fires and cuddling, the long walks through the fallen leaves, the hot chocolate and warm cider …. it makes us think about romance! And so The Berry came up with some great specials, both at Ocean Delight and at The Doctor’s House, for couples to enjoy a night or two away, kindling the fire and rekindling the love! To learn more about our Couples’ Fall Getaway at Ocean Delight, please see here, and to learn more about our Date Night to Remember at The Doctor’s House, please see here. And start feeling the love!
Sunset Sunday: Enjoying the Long Weekend!
Here’s a quick post to say that we hope you’re enjoying your long weekend. Here’s a beautiful sunset over beautiful Green’s Harbour at The beautiful Doctor’s House. We’ve been busy this weekend (weekends are always busy – and that’s a very good thing!), and we also have some really great Fall Specials lined up. So here’s to a great (and busy) fall!
