Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
We really mean it when we say The Doctor’s House is the perfect winter getaway – not too far from the city, we’re a warm and romantic refuge from the dreary season we’ve been having. And of course, there’s one key ingredient for a winter getaway – and that’s a roaring fire to cuddle up before and watch. We’ve got one in our dining room, and, as you can see, there’s no shortage of firewood. We’ll keep you warm!
The best days are hike days, especially since we have so many beautiful walking trails around the cottages to explore. This lucky day, we had not one but two humans to accompany us. Not very often you get these two not-working at the same time! 
Saturday on the blog we try to showcase the natural beauty of Newfoundland. Of course, there’s poetry all around us in this beautiful province. Here’s two trees as seen from our back patio, standing alone on the snowy water’s edge – with the sun out it’s a perfect winter wonderland. Have a great weekend.
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!
If you live in Newfoundland, then you know that we’ve been having some wild weather lately. I’ve never seen anything like the icy waves you see above. And we’ve been pounded by them and the wind for what seems like ages now. Definitely makes you want to Stay In and Stay Warm!
But thankfully, as you can see below – the storms have passed, the winds have tamed, and we’re back to our beautiful, clear days in the Wonderful World of Whiteway!
This photo from Newfoundland photographer Bud Vincent is called simply and appropriately, ‘Chilly Times.’ Very apropos given our chilly winter! I like it as a reminder after Valentine’s that there’s still lots we can do to enjoy time with our loved ones, even when it’s cold outside. Like our Stay In and Stay Warm winter packages – hint, hint!
There’s always lots to do for fun around the cottages. A little snow doesn’t hurt the great walking trails, especially on a sunny day. Especially when you have a great group to do it with. For me, that means Jerry and The Berry, of course, and also my new brother, Friday. The two-leggeds have to bundle up, of course, but for Friday and me, a little exercise and we’re warm as anything. Don’t we strike a handsome pair bounding down the lane?
A wintery scene for a wintery day. Not doubt it’s been a rough winter. Thankfully, brilliant Newfoundland photographers like Bud Vincent can remind us there’s beauty all around us.
A short post after a long week. We’ve got lots on our ‘to-do’ list, but also lots to be thankful for. Like, freshly fallen snow, and a sweet dog to roam in it. I hope you’re all preparing for a fun weekend. We’ll be serving dinner at The Doctor’s House, so that’s always a plus. And our Stay In and Stay Warm special is still going strong. Anyway, happy Friday!
Back to regular blogging, after several days showcasing all the fun we had at Eat the Hill. Here’s our back deck, showing that a little snow accumulation can be a beautiful thing! A little (or, a lot) of snow turns the Wonderful World of Whiteway into a Winter Wonderland. And if that’s not enough alliteration for your Thursday morning, I don’t know what is!
Of course, I never liked winter until I moved to the ocean’s edge. We’re truly blessed to have a beautiful, ocean-front home that lets us appreciate every aspect of Newfoundland’s weather! (And remember, it’s easier than ever to have a fun snow-day around the bay, with our Stay In and Stay Warm winter packages).
