Terrence found the softest crowberry patch to take a little rest. We are not much for itineraries, but we highly recommend taking a seaweed bath and napping on the barrens after. You don’t get any more grounded than that!

We begin and end our day the same way—on the pink couch in the studio, sipping a warm cup of seaweed vegetable broth. We’ve learned so much about seaweed and its bioactive properties through our work at our sister company 7 Fathoms Skin Care . The type of seaweeds that we work with contains fucoidan, a powerful bioactive compound known for its anti-inflammatory, prebiotic, and mitochondrial-supporting properties. To us, this broth is more than just delicious and comforting. We know when we drink the broth we are helping our gut. Fucoidan is so functional on the skin as we have learned from our work at 7 Fathoms. It is equally beneficial for the gut.

Our guests have loved wrapping their hands around a warm mug, adding fresh thyme, chives, basil, and mint from Andrew Younghusband 's wonderful weekly herbs and greens.

This broth helps define the mood around Grates Cove Co. these days. Enjoy your Sunday, Everyone.

Many of you have followed our journey from the beginning, when our family first settled into Grates Cove 15 years ago. We started with a studio, then expanded into a restaurant, accommodations, and unique experiences. If you've visited us over the last few years, you’ve likely seen the evolution of our work with seaweed and the launch of our sister company, 7 Fathoms Skin Care . .nl and beautifully captured the story of 7 Fathoms, showcasing not only our lives but also the enormous potential of seaweed—especially Fucoidan, a powerful bioactive compound found in the seaweed species we harvest. Seaweed and its bioactives offer immense benefits for overall health.
Thank you so much for supporting us throughout the years and adapting and growing with us as our journey in Grates Cove continues. You can expect to see, taste, and experience even more of what seaweed has to offer at Grates Cove Co. as well.
Enjoy the day, everyone!

Since we were not able to serve at the restaurant this evening, we did the next best thing. We stocked the fridge! #exploreNL #Hungry #SelfCheck-In #StockedFridge

Reminder that the overnight package must be booked directly through Courtney (709) 587.3880 or [email protected] Two nights or more can be booked through AirBnB or our website. #SeaweedBath #ExploreNL #TwoHoursFromSt. John’s #EmbracetheWild

Happy first day of Fall, and welcome to the beginning of the Wild Season! Snug Harbour House remains available throughout the Fall and Winter. The experience is much more retreat style and conducive to those who wish to immerse themselves in the sensations of the environment and in the wildness. Seaweed baths are available in the outdoor bath house, and if conditions get too wild out there, Snug Harbour House has a deep soaker tub. Healthy meals are available at the restaurant for those staying at the house and for groups. Lots of good conversation as well happening around here, mostly about seaweed and how incredible it is. #exploreNL #WildRetreat #SeaweedBaths #NutritiousYummyMeals #SeaweedVegetableBroth #FunctionalFoods

Seaweed Spa Day at Snug Harbour House with @7fathomsskincare

See you at Festival of the Quilts this weekend in Bay de Verde, Red Head Cove, and Grates Cove! @festival_of_quilts

A follow up from our post this morning. Here's Mamma Eagle returning. #Immersed

We've learned so much about the incredible properties of seaweed, their bioactives, through our work with @7fathomsskincare. We naturally started looking for ways to incorporate seaweed into the food experience at Grates Cove Co. Here is one of the ways-- Starting the meal off with a cozy cup of our Seaweed Vegetable Broth. Along with the other ingredients mentioned in the video, this broth is also made with a tad of cayenne. We also sautee the vegetables in Coconut oil. #explorenl #seaweedbioactives #broth #cozy
