Good Morning!

Breakfast at our Newfoundland resort inn and spaWe know that our guests at The Doctor’s House love waking up to a warm breakfast – because they tell us so all the time! Who wouldn’t love waking up to Chef Anna Dohey’s blueberry pancakes? This photo was recently captured by Colette Phillips of Artfully Yours, our official wedding photographers.

Also, here’s Karl Wells’ great write-up of last week’s great Savour Food and Wine event, with a favourable nod to The Doctor’s House and our Chef Chris Chafe.

Remember that we also offer gourmet meals at The Doctor’s House each weekend – and you can always see our planned menus here. Please join us there soon!

Happy Easter from Ocean Delight!

Newfoundland artist at our Newfoundland cottage rentalsHappy Easter from all of our crew! We hope you’re enjoying a wonderful weekend with your family and friends and getting lots of rest and relaxation, t0o. And we’re excited to be hosting our first Easter brunch at The Doctor’s House. Thanks to Allison George for this beautiful photo of her dad, consummate Newfoundlander Clifford George. We’re lucky to call both friends. Now, get back to your chocolate-gorging!

Winter Weather

Shag Rock in NewfoundlandYes, the weather this Spring has left a little to be desired. But The Berry has been in Ontario visiting family these past few weeks, and we’ve actually had nicer weather than here than she has. So I try to remember that the grass is always greener. And anytime you can see grass, at least that’s a blessing! We’re hoping everyone is having a safe and happy long weekend, and looking forward to The Berry’s return Monday. Enjoy your Saturday!

Good Good Friday

Easter greetings from our Newfoundland cottage rentalsIt’s Good Friday and the start of the long weekend for many. We hope that whatever your beliefs and traditions (we know this is a big fish-and-chips-day for many Newfoundlanders!), that you can take time to take time, enjoy your family and friends, and maybe squeeze in a few extra chocolates! The weather isn’t promising to be great, but Newfoundlanders know how to enjoy themselves no matter what the thermostat says. And don’t forget – we still have room for Easter Brunch at The Doctor’s House. We think Chef Anna may top herself this time!

The Cranberry Reimagined

Construction project at our Newfoundland cottage rentalsWhen we say we have lots on the go, we mean it! Lately we’ve been working on the Cranberry, a cottage at our Whiteway location, and the construction is coming along swimmingly.  The men started by taking off the roof to begin major renovation  as we turn the Cranberry into our ‘honeymoon’ cottage.  It will have a second floor, with an A0frame pointing out the bay.  The second floor will be an all glass front with a tub looking out the bay.  We’ll have skylights to capture the storms and a fire place to give you the warmth.

So, it might not look the prettiest yet, but trust us – it’ll be worth it!Construction project at our Newfoundland cottage rentalsConstruction on our newfoundland cottage rentals

Pink Skies and Smooth Sailing

Sun setting over Shag RockI took this picture on a beautifully calm evening last week. I don’t think any words – or any picture, for that matter – do justice describing the Wonderful World of Whiteway, our wonderful setting suns. The Berry is still in Ontario, and I’m still holding down the fort. We have lots on the go, but just as much to be thankful for. Happy Sunday!

Check the Traps

Fishing Season begins in NewfoundlandFishing season has begun, and we couldn’t be more excited. All the fresh fish – we know it’s why so many tourists come to visit, and can you blame them?

It’s shaping up to be a good weekend. We’re getting busier as we inch into the summer season, and we like busier! The Savour Food and Wine Show went great yesterday, The Berry reports she’s having a great time on vacation, and we’ve got some fun specials on the go, including an Easter brunch coming up soon at The Doctor’s House. We hope things are lining up just as nicely for your weekend, too!

Savour It!

Two chefs in NewfoundlandIf you’re enjoying the 7th Annual Savour, Atlantic Canada’s premier Food & Wine Show , then you’re in for a treat tonight. Our beloved Chef Anna Dohey is pairing up with stellar up-and-comer Chris Chafe (whom you may remember from a previous fabulous weekend) to prepare what we can only imagine will be out-of-this-world – cod and salt beef croqueta, with romesco, pickled vegetables, micro-greens and smoked paprika oil. Can you say yum?

Of course, we’re lucky to have Anna prepare our meals at The Doctor’s House each weekend – so if you can’t make it to Savour, then make sure to check out our weekly menus!
