Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
Here’s proof that despite a long and dreary winter, Spring has arrived at The Doctor’s House – and summer can’t be far behind. Before you know it, we’ll be in full bloom, our English gardens bursting with colour and beauty. And if you’d like a reminder of just what that looks like, here you go:
We get it. With that lingering brown snow, it’s hard to get a case of Spring Fever this year. But trust us – this view of Shag Rock is beautiful and relaxing any time of year. With The Doctor’s House opening this Friday (this Friday!) and our current Spring Specials, we’re doing our level best to pull our fellow Newfoundlanders out of this long-winter-funk. After the season we’ve had, don’t we deserve it???
The Berry’s Ocean Delight specials have become quite popular – we’re happy that lots of guests really enjoyed our Stay In ‘N’ Stay Warm package this past winter. So now, in honour of the first day of Spring, The Berry is at it again: introducing the Spring Relax and Refresh.
Our new Spring special features noon checkout, plus a fun snack basket upon arrival, filled with magazines, movies, popcorn and treats. We’ll also provide firewood for your outdoor fire pit, and propane for your personal BBQ – perhaps it’s time to have your first barbeque of the year!
You can find all the details about our Spring special here, and don’t forget that The Doctor’s House, complete with restaurant and Aveda spa, will be opening on April 10 (!). We’ve never been more excited to spring into Spring.
We’ve had some beautiful days here lately – sunny, warm but not too warm, no wind. We’ve been treated to beautiful sunsets, flowers bursting forth, birds and bees getting busy with their spring cleaning. Perry was right – it is gorgeous out here this time of year.
We’re looking forward to a fun, busy weekend. The Shag It will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11-7pm. We hope to see you out on the patio, enjoying Spring with us!
Sunday greetings, everyone! Jerry is away visiting his daughters in British Columbia, enjoying some sunshine and some much needed R&R. In the meantime, here’s a shot from The Doctor’s House in winter, to remind us that things are going to start looking beautiful here really soon. Jerry brought great weather with him to B.C. – and maybe he’ll bring some back with him when he gets home next week!
We’ve all said it a million times in a million ways this season – we’ve had a rough winter! But it’s May, it’s Friday, and at The Doctor’s House, some flowers are poking their heads up! These flowers are surely a sign of beautiful things to come. Set on over 100 acres of rambling fields, groomed walking trails and English gardens, we’re sure the foliage at The Doctor’s House will be stunning this year – we can’t wait til it all starts blooming!
We love giving our guests recommendations for fun things to do while they spend time at our cottages. Thankfully, here on the Baccalieu Trail, that’s pretty easy! Especially with towns like Bay Roberts just a short trip away, there’s always something fun going on to explore.
Coming up soon in May, Bay Roberts will be hosting their popular ‘Songs, Stages and Seafood Festival,’ a great opportunity to enjoy Newfoundland culture and cuisine. They’ve got a car show coming up, too, and more. Please see all their offerings here, keeping in mind that coupled with some of our Spring Specials, a fun, family weekend away might be in your near future!
A little birdie told us – after all this weather, we’re in for a great spring. At least it will be if you come join us at the cottages! That’s why we’re excited to roll out our Spring Specials. All April and May, stay at any of our cottages and receive a complementary snack and movie basket and bottle of house wine. Or, take advantage our nearby sister property The Doctor’s House and add some luxurious spa packages to you stay. After this winter, you deserve it!
No matter what the weather does now, at least we can say it’s Spring! And with all the sunshine that’s bound to come our way, we’ve just announced our new Summer Special. We’re calling it the “Coastal Combo: Jewels of the Bay.” For a special price, guests will be able to combine a stay at our cottages with a stay at The Doctor’s House, and complimentary Tea for Two at The Doctor’s House as well. Find out all the details and make your reservations here.
What weather we’ve been having. It was such a beautiful day yesterday that we decided to take Murphy on a walk along Jimmy Rowe’s Trail here in the Wonderful World of Whiteway (not far from the cottages). It was a great walk – refreshing and uplifting. And it was one of those great work days when everything goes right. So definitely a count-your-blessings kind of day. We’re glad then that people are taking advantage of our Stay In and Stay Warm package for the cottages this winter – that plus the weather just sweetens an already sweet deal.
