Thanks For Staying With Us!

ocean near our cottagesWe like to send followup emails to guests after they stay at the cottages, thanking them for choosing us. Sometimes we get great responses, like this recent one from Bethany and John: “We really enjoyed spending our wedding night at the Loon. It was so quiet and peaceful….and the cabin was cozy and clean. We would highly recommend the cabin to anyone who wants to get away for a relaxing holiday.”

So like they say on Reading Rainbow – we know the Loon and all our Heart’s Delight cottages are great for relaxing, but don’t take our word for it!

Blogging Trifecta

We’d be lying if we said we didn’t love a great review (who doesn’t?), and lately we’ve been blessed with some online love. Seems only fitting that we use our own online space to thank our reviewers! Here’s what we’ve been reading lately:

Tiptoeing Through
Couple at The Doctor's House

One of our recent guests, Julie, writes a compelling blog about her journey and life raising a child with special needs. She and her husband recently enjoyed a little getaway at The Doctor’s House, and they shared their thoughts, and their incredibly stunning photos, in this great piece. Trust us – if you’d like to see what we’re all about out here, read it. Thanks again to Julie for sharing.

West Jet Magazine

West Jet Magazine recently ran a piece called “Eight Stops Along Newfoundland’s Baccalieu Trail,” and guess who made the list? Why the Shag It Cafe and Gift Shop, naturally! Looks like they particularly enjoyed our hearty chowders, fresh bread and sandwiches, and of course, that famous view.

Vacay.ca

So The Doctor’s House and Shag It Cafe got some love – what about our good, old cottages? Thanks to Vacay.ca writer, Michelle Hopkins, Ocean Delight wasn’t left out either! She recently wrote about her tour of the Avalon Peninsula, which we’re happy to stay included a stop at our Blueberry. She loved the ‘charming, country-style cottage,’ and seems to have loved the Wonderful World of Whiteway as much as we do. Another great read if you’re looking for things to do in the area.

There you have it – some fun reads for your Friday morning. Thanks again to these dedicated writers for the kind words. And if any of our guests or readers have written about us on your blogs, please let us know, as we’d be more than happy to share!

 

Thanks for the Thumbs-Up!

We were thrilled to discover that our wonderful guests enjoyed themselves this summer as much as enjoyed having them, giving us great reviews and making us the Number-One ranked hotel in Newfoundland and Labrador on Trip Advisor. This was our first season in this industry so we hit a few bumps along the way, and now we’re so pumped to learn that we ultimately did what we sent out to do – give our guests a unique, memorable and purely ‘Newfoundland’ getaway right on the edge of the Atlantic. And we’re so grateful to everyone that gave us reviews – if you’re reading this, a BIG thank you!

In the meantime, we’ve gotten a bunch of lovely guest-book signings, have scanned a couple and are thinking of making them a feature on our site. What do you think?
