Yes, 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
It’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!
Pink Skies and Smooth Sailing
I 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 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!
Last Sleigh Ride of the Season
There are few things in the world more delightful than Clifford out with his Newfoundland Pony, Annie. His wife Shirley sent us these shots from last week, from what they believe will be the last sleigh ride of the season. She reports that the paths have broken down in the woods, and the sun is gaining its power, so it’s time to put the wintertime fun away. But we’re sure these rides were a bright spot in an otherwise dark season! 
Thanks for Clifford and Shirley for sharing this fun event. And if you’d like to see this sleigh-ride live, then check our this video!
Spring Specials
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!
Twilight Hour
So ok, ok, it’s true – we haven’t had the best winter. But when twilight hour strikes, there’s still some magic there! We’re busy here putting together some new Spring specials and packages. Just take a cue from the Little Engine that Could – instead of ‘I think I can, I think I can,’ keep saying ‘I think it’s Spring, I think it’s Spring!’ It’ll start to warm up before we know it!
New Special Combo: Jewels of the Bay
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.
Sunset Sunday: Very Bright
I think I pulled out my camera at just the right moment this day. The sun is still bright, casting a beautiful glow over the ocean, over Shag Rock, over Whitway, over our cottages. Moments like these, with or without a camera to capture them, I feel truly blessed and lucky to be alive. And grateful that we get to share this beauty with all our guests. And each other.
Shag Rock, Snowy
A few days ago we blogged about the icy waves here, we’ve had some nasty weather, and seems like the entire continent is having a wacky winter. Certainly we’ll all be happy when Spring rolls around. But here’s a snowy shot of Shag Rock to show why we love the Wonderful World of Whiteway, through rain, shine, sleet and snow! Please remember that there’s still a month left of our popular Stay In and Stay Warm package (great if you need a romantic respite from this winter!), and our Valentine’s Special at The Doctor’s House (which comes with a gourmet 3-course dinner, plus some more add-ons), is still available this weekend. Happy Friday, everyone!
