Remember a Date Night to Remember!

A Date Night To Remember at The Doctor's HouseI feel like I’ve been remiss in my blogging duties, because I’m not sure if I’ve yet shared our latest fall specials at The Doctor’s House. But never fear – fall specials are here!

We’re most excited about ‘A Date Night to Remember,’ which is a beautiful way for couples to reconnect, surrounded by both natural beauty – our 100 acres – and man-made – our Tudor Inn, plus our fabulous gourmet dining and spa treatments.

Romance is really what The Doctor’s House is all about, so ‘A Date Night to Remember’ is the perfect opportunity to enjoy our property with a loved one this fall. It includes breakfast for 2, gourmet dinner for two, and 1 night in the Inn. To learn more, please see here, and make a reservation by emailing info@doctorshousenewfoundland. Time to open your eyes and say ‘ahhhh!’

I Spy

Couple getting married at the doctor's houseI spy, with my little camera … Andrea and Jean Philippe!

Actually, it wasn’t me doing the spying here – it was Sam who caught this gorgeous photo, proving once again that while the very talented photographers who come to shoot our weddings get some stunning, stunning photos, you never know when that ‘magic’ shot will be caught with your cell phone!

We love this shot, and we loved this couple, and wish them so well on their journey together. And while I didn’t ‘spy’ this camera, I am spying lots of romance around here, with lots of weddings, and lots of couples coming out to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and other milestones. I may be a romantic, but it warms my soul!

And Now a Scientic Reason to Enjoy our Sleep In Special!

Couple at our Newfoundland cottagesWe’re open all winter, and we have some great, cozy-inducing specials to tempt you. And now science is backing us up! Turns our that cuddling releases oxytotocin, and cuddles that indulge frequently can actually get addicted to each other! Our Sleep In Special lets you do that just that, allotting lots of extra time in the morning for getting addicted! Check in after 1pm, and checkout the next day isn’t until 1pm. It’s the perfect tonic for the sleep deprived, and a great way to add a little partner-addiction to your relationship!

2014 Reflections: Love at The Doctors House

Couple gets engaged at our Newfoundland inn and spaWe’re ending our blogging year with reflections on our favourite moments from 2014. And of course, given that this year was the first we offered weddings at The Doctor’s House, our immediate thoughts turned to love! We were so honoured to play a big role in many couple’s journeys this year, from engagement all the way to betrothal and beyond.

First, above you’ll see Bradley proposing to Lisa. This was our first proposal (that we know of!) at The Doctor’s House, and thanks to some help from our Love Fairies (namely, our staff, Rosemary, Heather and Jessica, who decorated their room while they enjoyed spa treatments), it went off swimmingly.

Couple engaged at our Newfoundland cottagesStephen and Kayla also got engaged at The Doctor’s House, and, quite talented, they took and shared some gorgeous photos of their weekend. This picture was snapped on a walk down to the water for a picnic – which is just about the most romantic way we can think of to celebrate an engagement!

Danielle left us this incredibly sweet message on Facebook: “Was so happy with our stay the other night. what an amazing place, great animals who you can tell are so very loved, such cheery friendly people, and great food. But the lasting memory will always be getting engaged in your barn !! thanks for everything.”

Of course, thanks to the hard work of our dedicated team, and thanks to The Berry’s Vision, The Doctor’s House opened its magnificent doors and hosted several weddings this summer. We fell in love with the couples who shared their special days with us, and we’re happy to be able to share some of their lovely photos. Above is Christa and Bhasker. This truly beautiful photo of a truly beautiful couple was taken by MK Photography.

Wedding at The Doctor's House NewfoundlandAnd this picture, amazingly captured on a camera-phone, caused quite the commotion this year. Doesn’t it look like a magazine shot? It’s actually from Danielle and Christan’s wedding, our most recent at The Doctors House. The little girl is their daughter, who is very sweet – not unlike her parents, a beautiful couple that you can’t help but fall in love with. Please see more pics of their gorgeous day on Facebook, but for now, look at that little dress, and those little helpers, and try not to swoon!

A big thank you and congratulations to all the countless couples that have celebrate events and milestones, big and little, with us and with The Doctor’s House this year. We’re looking forward to another busy wedding season, and can’t wait to make more dreams come true.

Bubble Bath by the Sea

our Newfoundland cottageHere’s another picture of the stunning Cranberry cottage, this time taken by Dining at The Doctor’s House Chef Cate (and yes, her culinary skills are even better than her photography ones!). We’ve had a request by a lovely guest coming to stay with us this November to share more photos of the rest of the cottage, and we’ll oblige soon. But for now, let us bask in the beauty of a bubble bath by the sea! And don’t forget, our Couple’s Fall Getaway special makes a trip here even more romantic – please check it out!

Summer’s Last Hurrah

Gardens at The Doctor's House

Since this is the last long weekend of the summer, we know it will soon be time to say bye-for-now to our beautiful gardens at The Doctor’s House. They’re been a highlight this season, as we’ve lived here and gotten acquainted with this beautiful property. Thankfully, we’ve got lots of walking trails, lots of trees, and lots of beauty coming as we get into fall. But for now, here’s one last celebration of our beautiful flowers! And thanks again to Shirley George for the lovely photos.

The Wedding March Continues

Wedding hall at our Newfoundland wedding destinationWe’re barely into August, and the wedding march continues at The Doctor’s House! We spent a lot of time working for and thinking about our first wedding season, and now it’s half over – with several happy couples happily married under our watch, we should add. This lovely photo of our reception hall was taken by our good friend, Albert Legge. And of course our resident wedding photographer is Allison George, whose lovely work we’ve also been lucky enough to feature on the blog.  And if you’re interested in learning more about our weddings, please email Dana at info@doctorshousenewfoundland.com – we know she’ll love to answer all your (hunk of) burning love questions!

Congratulations, Victoria and Patrick!
