This is a lucky year for all the lovers out there, since Valentine’s falls on a Saturday – breakfast in bed has never been easier! Remember too that our Sleep-In Special is tailor-made for leisurely, romantic mornings, and don’t forget they’ve got fully equipped kitchens. These red-velvet pancakes might be in your future!
Budding Saturday: Have a Seat
Sometimes, having a seat is easier said than done. We hear that the weather has been relatively mild since we’ve been away. This picture was actually taken by Newfoundland photographer Bud Vincent a few years ago, but it’s still pretty representative of Newfoundland patios in winter! We hope you have a much cozier place to curl up on this fine Saturday!
Havin’ a Time!
Yes sir – we are having a fabulous time in Mexico, enjoying the lovely weather, the local culture, the plus-sized margaritas. Sayulita is a great place, and we’re happy to be here.
But you know we had to check out the local Irish pub – especially since it’s called Murphy’s Irish Pub! And wouldn’t you know it – Newfoundland musicians Dave Whitty and Matt Cooke showed up! What a treat to have a real taste of home, so far from home. Newfoundlanders – we’re everywhere. And we always know how to have a time!
Clifford’s Feathered Friends
A very happy belated birthday to our good friend, Clifford George. A gentle soul, we can almost hear Mary Poppins singing (‘….feed the birds … toppins a bag ….’) as we write this. Thanks to Clifford and Shirley for sharing these sweet photos, and reminding us to stop and feed the birdies from time to time!
A Bright Shining Sun for Susan and Scott
What a beautiful day for a beautiful couple – here’s Susan and Scott, who got married last summer. The day before their wedding – rain. The day after their wedding – rain. The day of their wedding – blue skies ahead! 
Susan recently shared these lovely photos, taken by Farell Cahill Photography. We’ll be sharing more on Facebook and Pinterest, so be sure to follow us there. And thanks again to Susan and Scott, for sharing their day with us, and congratulations once more!
Sunset Sunday: More Sayulita
Ahhh, there are worse ways to spend a Sunday than this. But, there’s a giveaway that we’re missing home – last night we went to Murphy’s Irish Pub! It’s become a favourite spot of ours. We like to go with friends and talk about Newfoundland. We’ve met a few Newfoundlanders, and lots of Canadians. It’s always nice to be reminded of home!
And Another Happy Couple!
When it rains, it pours, and we’ve had several brides share their stunning wedding photos with us lately. Here’s Samantha and Chris, who got married this past August. Samantha’s parents live just down the road from us – it’s always nice to meet our neighbours! Samantha also works in the tourism industry, and told us The Doctor’s House is the most beautiful place she’s ever seen (we’re blushing, but we concur!).
So thanks again to Samantha for sharing these gorgeous photos, and for sharing a part of your special day with us. Congratulations, and we wish you all the best!
Happy Memories with Meg and Chris
A hearty and belated congratulations to Megan and Chris, a beautiful young couple who got married at The Doctor’s House last July. As you can see, the had a creative and gorgeous wedding on a gorgeous day. These lovely photos were taken by Shayla M. Brown Photography, and, like always, we’ve shared more photos on our Facebook and Pinterest pages, so make sure to check us out there. And congratulations once again to the happy couple!
Frosty Festival Coming Soon!
Jerry raised his family in Mount Pearl, so it has a special place in his heart. And since we’re only about an hour outside Mount Pearl, we know lots of our guests hail from this great city. So here’s a friendly reminder that the Frosty Festival is coming up! Hard to believe it’s in its 33rd year – we remember the first! This year they’ve got lots of great events lined up, including an International Food and Craft Fair, Wine Tasting, and live show with Shanneyganock and The Irish Descendents. Not to be missed! Find all the details here.
Getting Busy on Pinterest!
Our Whiteway cottages are open all winter, but of course this season is a little slower for us. Which gives us extra time to turn to things like upping our social media game! To that extent, we’ve been having fun jumping into Pinterest. We have an account for The Doctor’s House, and already it’s so much fun getting involved with all you lovely pinners out there! So if you’re on Pinterst, please follow us. And we’re still on the ‘newbie’ side, so if you have any tips, we’d love to hear them!
