Progress on the Big Barn

Building a barn extension for our upscale Newfoundland wedding localAs we’re looking forward to our first wedding season and working hard to get The Doctor’s House ready for big parties, we’ve decided to keep our future brides updated of our progress through this blog. As you can see, our barn renovations are in full swing, with the extensions going up now. We’ve also installed a new floor upstairs in The Doctor’s Loft (you can see all of our wedding facilities here), and inside the barn is ready to add a kitchen.  So far we’ve hit our first milestones, and we’re on schedule and on budget. We know lots of happy couples will be ‘I do-ing’ in no time!

And speaking of weddings, if you or your friends have your own coming up, we hope you’ll us this Sunday at the Devotion Wedding Show. We’ll be doing a draw to win a one night stay in our honeymoon suite plus spa services, so don’t miss our booth!

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!

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!

Announcing our Valentine’s Day Special

We had a such a fun time New Year’s Eve at The Doctor’s House, that we knew our intimate space and brilliant Chef Dohey could make a Valentine’s celebration that hit just the right notes. Thankfully, I have The Berry on our side to plan these intimate evenings, and we’ve put together a romantic package that we’re sure couples will enjoy.

First, the dinner. Chef Anny Dohey has come up with another 3-course stunning menu, this time featuring your choice of lamb and bouillabaise, with lots more. We’ll be offering it Fridays and Saturdays between February 14 and March 2, by reservation. The great news for guests of The Doctor’s House is that this dinner is included free in our packages. Non-guests are also welcome, assuming available space, for $49 per person (plus tax and gratuities). It’ll be a beautiful, memorable evening.

And to make it a beautiful, memorable getaway, please see our Specials and Packages page, where we include prices and options for your Valentine’s weekend. Again, these packages include free dinner and an option to upgrade with a couples massages, and they’re available from Valentine’s Day until March 2.

Winter in Whiteway ….

Fire in winter in rural Newfoundland

…. 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!)

Sunsets Over Shag Rock

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.

Winter’s Day

With Christmas coming and all the new snow I’m actually getting really excited for the winter. And if you know me, you know that’s something I never used to say. Winter used to be the bane of my existence. But there is nothing like a small cozy cottage, a fire, some hot chocolate (or, lets be honest, red wine) ….. and the beauty of the Wonderful World of Whiteway always shines through. Keep an eye on our Specials and Packages page – we’re already offering Buy One Night, Get One Half Up, and soon we’ll be offering a special Winter Getaway Package, too. Let it snow (let it snow, let it snow!).
