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. To learn more or make a reservation, please call 582.2754 or email info@doctorshousenewfoundland.com.

Oh! The Sunsets

I’ve already blogged about how my ‘church’ is Nature, specifically watching the sun set, specifically watching the sun set over the ocean. I think it’s the same for The Berry. I got this beautiful shot of her looking out at the sunset in wonder, awe and reflection. I thought it perfectly captured the moment – full of natural beauty (she gets that from her mother), strength and determination (which I hope I share with her). She puts me in mind of Mary from Random Passage (and, if you haven’t seen this movie, you must if you want to know who we Newfoundlanders are as a people).

We are grateful for all that the summer has brought and the lessons learned (we’re now rated number one in hotels in the province on TripAdvisor), but it’s been a lot of hard work. Hard work, and fun, too. We’re a little older, a lot wiser, and looking forward to things slowing down a bit so we can begin planning for our future. And continue enjoying our view every evening.

Honeymooners’ Delight

You may remember Shauna and Geoff, a young couple from Kingston, who were our first guests to be screeched in by Joe Friday. They also have another distinction – our first honeymooners! Here they are happily displaying a Clifford George original – given at a discount for the occasion – in front of their cabin. They loved their stay – thanks in part to donated bikes from Whiteway’s own Lisa Day, and tea and a boat tour from Clifford and Shirley. Fresh fish helped, too!

If you watch our Youtube video, Geoff says he thinks “Ocean Delight chose us.”  That’s exactly how we felt when The Berry and I decided to buy these cottages. We’re thrilled that Geoff and Shauna enjoyed our place as much as we do (and wish them all the best!), and we hope we’ll have lots more happy, honeymooning couples to share it with in the future.
