First Proposal at The Doctor’s House

Newfoundland couple gets engaged at our Newfoundland resort inn and spaWe’ve had some proposals at Ocean Delight, but this was long weekend was extra special as we helped pull off the first proposal at The Doctor’s House. We’ll be having lots of weddings here, so it only makes sense to start the journey here, too!

Bradley proposed to Lisa on the deck of the Limonene Room on this sunny Saturday afternoon, and she said yes!  Our staff, Rosemary, Heather and Jessica, decorated the room and the deck while they were having spa treatments – it was a real surprise for Lisa, and the girls did a fantastic job.

We’re so happy to have helped this lovely couple, and we’re wishing them more than all the best. Thanks, Bradley and Lisa, for sharing your special day with us!

Beautiful Wedding Photos at The Doctor’s House

Wedding at the doctor's house in newfoundlandWe haven’t hosted any weddings at The Doctor’s House yet – that’s coming up this summer. But last year a few couples came to take their wedding photos with us – it was learning experience for us, and they got to take some gorgeous shots.

Thank you to Krista Cooper, who recently shared these lovely photos taken last summer. Her sister-in-law Janice married Ace Steward last July. These beautiful images were taken by Sally Ledrew and Judi Stone, and while with such a gorgeous couple it would be hard to have anything less than stunning photos, we love how these capture the essence of The Doctor’s House, and how The Doctor’s House adds to their charm. Find more pictures of the happy couple on our Facebook site, and stay tuned, as we hope to share lots more happy wedding photos with you soon!

Tuesdays with Murphy: Life Lesson

Golden retriever and devon rex cat at our newfoundland cottage rentalsHere’s a life lesson about persistence, patience, forgiveness and love. You may remember that when Molly, our Devon Rex four-legged, joined our Ocean Delight family, I was actually frightened of her, despite our size difference. She came to us fearful, with some sadness in her past, and she did not take to me one bit – in fact, she did quite the opposite, often scratching and biting without justification. But I never gave up hope of a relationship, and I never responded with anything but grace and kindness. And now – this photo says it all. We’ve become cuddle buddies, keeping each other warm in this cold winter. I feel truly blessed!

Still Time for Valentine’s Plans

Celebrating Valentine's Day at our Newfoundland cottagesSince this is a daily blog about life at the cottages, sometimes we like to write about upcoming events both here and at The Doctor’s House – because promoting the Wonderful World of Whiteway is part of what we do each day! That’s why I want to let you know that we still have room left for our Valentine’s package at The Doctor’s House. Similar to our New Year’s Event, we’ll be having an exquisite gourmet dinner, and we’ve made it easy for you to up the romance with some spa deals. And, as is the case for the rest of the winter, book one night there and the second is $99. I have to give all credit to The Berry for coming up with our specials and planning them – she’s fantastic.

So if this is the year you really want to impress your Valentine, please see here!

I Have It in Writing

Heartfelt Note for a Newfoundland father

This Sunday I thought I’d try something different from my regular sunset posts, to show the only thing more meaningful to me. I was going through some stuff yesterday when I came across this. As you can see from the inscription, it was given to me 10 years ago.

10 years is about a third of my beautiful daughters’ lives but little in mine. A lot of water has gone by. I know lots of parents love this book and the reason why is obvious – because always as long as our children are living, our babies they’ll be. God bless.Beloved Children's book by Robert Munsch

Some Love for Shamrock

Owner of Newfoundland Inn with her Newfoundland pony

We’ve had some questions after posting about our construction project to turn a barn at The Doctor’s House into a wedding reception hall, wondering whether it would displace our menagerie of animals. And the answer is, happily, no! Our Newfoundland ponies and goat have their own, newer barn, where they’re given lots of love and other necessities – and that’s not going to change.

Here’s Laurelyn with Shamrock, a looker if ever there was one, and the sweetest pony around. She loves attention and kisses, and absolutely loves humans. Thankfully, the feeling is mutual!

Berry Happy

Hosts at a party in NewfoundlandIt’s been wet and wild lately, very busy, with more tasks than we know what to do with. Thankfully, we have a great team, and I have a great partner in crime. This picture was taken of me and The Berry at our New Year’s Eve party at The Doctor’s House. We have such a great night that we’ve decided to use our beautiful restaurant and dining room by the fire to celebrate another holiday – Valentine’s (you can read more about what we’re planning, here). It’s nice to have something to look forward to during the daily grind!
