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!

Big Barn Update

We’re offering weddings at The Doctor’s House in July 2014, and we have some construction projects to finish before then. So we’re using the blog to keep our brides and couples updated about our progress. Here’s the Big Barn. It was actually too cold to do too much work last week (thankfully, we’re still on schedule). So our team just finished the lower extension last week, and will get busy this week if it warms up!

If you’d like to see about the wedding services we offer, please see here. And stay tuned to the blog, as we’ll be announcing the winners of our Spa and Stay packages that we drew after our two recent Bridal Shows.

Want a Fire?

We really mean it when we say The Doctor’s House is the perfect winter getaway – not too far from the city, we’re a warm and romantic refuge from the dreary season we’ve been having. And of course, there’s one key ingredient for a winter getaway – and that’s a roaring fire to cuddle up before and watch. We’ve got one in our dining room, and, as you can see, there’s no shortage of firewood. We’ll keep you warm!

Winter in Whiteway ….

…. is cozy and warm, good for a fire, great for the soul, and, in a word, magical. Thanks to Leonard Howlett, a Newfoundland artist whose work we feature in our gift shop at The Doctor’s House, for capturing the season here so stunningly. We stay open during the winter, because we know a stunning getaway just an hour outside St. John’s is something people need and love all year round. Remember that we’ve extended our spa packages at The Doctor’s House to last all winter, and, also at the Inn, we’re offering buy one night, get the second for $99 for January-March. It’s our way to make your winter a little warmer.

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.
