Our good friend and neighbour, Albert Legge, is also a great photographer, so sometimes he takes lovely photos for us to share on the blog. We love showcasing all the wonder that is the Baccalieu Trail – we’re just happy to be a part of it! The trees practically on fire with their deep reds this Fall have been quite dramatic – and certainly a photographers dream. Thanks to Albert for sharing!
Beautiful Autumn
Extreme weather events aside, this has been a beautiful autumn. The leaves are falling at The Doctor’s House, and lots of couples are taking advantage of our extraordinary Date Night to Remember. Last week we had the pleasure of hosting a lovely couple, John and Bernice. They shared this photo, which captures the rustic elegance of the season, and of The Doctor’s House, too. Fall just might be turning out to be our favourite season!
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!
Fall Colours
The fall rainbow is on. The colours are radiant here in Newfoundland, like nowhere else I have ever seen. They’re not just colourful – they’re fluorescent and iridescent – it is marvelous here this time of year. We just try to hang on as long as we can, dreading the coming of winter but loving its harbinger.
Autumn Love
Summer gets all the glory, and certainly there’s nothing like our lush, green gardens all a-bloom. But there’s nothing like the deep fall colours springing to life either. And we’ve just extended our Ladies Retreat Weekend Special through November – meaning, if you’re looking for a restorative getaway this Fall, this is where you want to be.
Autumn’s A-Coming!
The nights are getting a little shorter, with a definite crisp in the air. And as much as we love summer, we’re excited! For the warm drinks, the fires, and getting our cozy sweaters out from the back of the drawers. Of course, we have our Fall Specials on, which are always popular. But fall is more than that. It’s a time for slowing down, taking stock, spending longer nights with loved ones. Please let us know in the comments – what’s your favourite part of fall, or do you just miss summer?
Fall Specials at Ocean Delight (and The Doctor’s House!)
Another Fall, another opportunity to roll out some Fall Packages! I have to give The Berry all the credit for our great packages this year – no doubt she’s the brains behind all our marketing and promotions (good thing for it, too). This fall at Ocean Delight, we have two Getaway Packages – one for couples, one for groups of friends (we find that people like to rent neighbouring cottages when they want to get together with friends – lots of fun, and you don’t need a designated driver at the end of the night!).
Our Ocean Delight packages also include spa treatments at The Doctor’s House (oh la la) and vouchers for good times at the Shag It Cafe and Gift Shop. They’re good for all new bookings for stays until the end of November.
Also, if you’re looking for the ultimate in romance or a girls’ night out, Laurelyn also came up with some great packages for The Doctor’s House, too.
Phew, now I can take my salesman cap off and get back to regularly scheduled blogging! Thanks as always to Leonard Howlett for the beautiful image of Shag Rock.
Tuesdays with Murphy: Murphy the Meteorologist
Well, despite the fact that Jerry took his lunch outdoors over the weekend, I know what’s really up here in the Wonderful World of Whiteway – summer has left us, and fall is setting in. Now, yes, I do have a luxurious, golden coat to keep me warm, but I like it really toasty. Thankfully, I have two humans to dote on me and keep me in blankets. My forecast for the next several months at Ocean Delight: cozy, which a chance of cuddles!
