🌟 Congratulations to our co-founder, Alan Doyle, on being named an Honorary Doctorate Recipient by Memorial University! 🌟

We are incredibly proud of Alan for receiving this distinction, which recognizes his extraordinary contributions in raising up audiences (from Petty Harbour across the globe) and his role as one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s proudest cultural ambassadors. He’ll receive a Doctor of Letters (honoris causa) at MUN’s spring convocation in May.

Alan is also a member of the Order of Canada, a member of the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador, and a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Thank you, Alan, for all you do. You create meaningful change every day through your music, creativity, and leadership. This honour is well-deserved - bravo! 🌟

✨𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐖𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲✨

For the 2026 season, we made a big decision. We decided to move from a full-season inn to a shorter, much more intentional season of special gatherings. We are only opening from mid-July to mid-September, and only on select dates.

People sometimes ask us why we would choose to be open less. The answer is simple: fewer dates mean richer experiences for our guests.

Hosting people the way we want to host them—with all-inclusive gourmet meals, guided hikes, foraging workshops, and deep, personal attention—takes an immense amount of energy and heart. With fewer dates, we can be fully present for every single guest who walks through our door.

By shortening our season, we ensure that when you arrive, our spark is burning bright. We have the time to sit with you, to guide you and to cook for you with all the joy and passion this place deserves.

We are so excited for this new chapter. If you’d like to be part of it, our 2026 dates are now available to book. We can't wait to welcome you. Get in touch today.
