After staying at Barclay Cottage B&B on Memorial Day, I could not be more grateful for the weekend I spent there. Rich and Sharon were delightful hosts- greeted my girlfriend and me like weary travelers (which we were) and helped orient us immediately. The breakfast was truly gourmet every day- there was a lot of care taken to it, and the actual property, porch, linens et cetera were impeccable. Not for nothing, but both the smell of fresh chocolate chip cookies every day, and the stocked jar of them were awesome. Great facilities, great food, great hospitality- above all, both Rich and Sharon understand the art of being the host, and are not intrusive, but aware and available if needed. I would recommend Barclay to close friends and family.

My fiancee took me for a romantic evening away from DC to Barclay Cottage for my 30th birthday. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The owners, Sharon and Rich, treat guests like family. They are warm and inviting from the very beginning you step in the door. Rich met us and apologized for his oven mitts, which he was wearing because he was making. fresh. chocolate. chip. cookies. Sharon took us on a tour of the place, and gave us a brief overview of its history as a former schoolhouse. We did not partake in the evening's gathering with the other guests, to which the owners served wine, but judging by the laughter coming from the common room, it was a good time. The two owners also live in the house; so it feels like home because it actually is! Our room was on the first floor, and it was warm and comfortable at night, and decorated with sea shells, sand dollars, and paintings of area landmarks, like the Cape Henry lighthouse. It was very clean and well-appointed, evident of great care and consideration. At 9 in the morning (when breakfast was served), Sharon and Rich plated a freshly-made dish of Rich's invention - a wonderful concoction of thinly-sliced potatoes, Swiss cheese and an egg baked on top. He served it with asparagus and a roasted roma tomato and pesto. He really knows his stuff, and despite his culinary skill, was humble and self-effacing. That attitude of low-key confidence and quality pervades the B&B, and Sharon and Rich have a great thing going. I wish them all the best from the bottom of my heart, and would recommend a stay there to anyone. The fact is, Bed and Breakfasts are unique experiences. This one is for you if you like going into someone's home and being treated like a member of their family, even if only for a night. After we checked out, Sharon gave us both a hug and Rich gave me a firm, kind handshake. Recommended without reservation, from the bottom of my heart.

Probably the biggest choice to make writing a yelp review is the star rating choice. I'm going all-in on Barclay Cottage vs. 4-star because as others have noted the owners are very warm and welcoming, while simultaneously unobtrusive. Amenities offered are spot-on for a beach B&B, don't even bother bringing your "beach stuff" unless you have something really special like one of those pop-up half tent things or similar. They supply simply everything else you'd need, and a cart to haul it the short walk to the sand and water. Several of everything too, so you don't have to set the first alarm at the inn to get it. The house is quite old, built in the 19th century, but has been very nicely adapted to B&B use. The Lighthouse room was quite pleasant, clean, and quiet despite being first floor. Little touches like the container of cotton swabs in the bathroom show attention to detail and really set this apart from the hotel experience. Breakfast was at 9:00, a welcome hour on vacation, gives time for a sunrise walk on the beach, or just relaxing a few more minutes before starting the day. The food was good, and Steve made just enough small-talk to start the table chatting without taking away from the peaceful enjoyment of the meal. One might think he's been doing this a few days now... There aren't many B&B choices I could find in Virginia Beach, but even if there were, based on stays at other well-reviewed establishments in different areas I would have no qualms recommending Barclay Cottage to anyone.

We just spent a very relaxing weekend at the Barclay for Memorial Day! It is our favorite B & B and we have stayed in quite a few,including author Nora Roberts' Inn at Boonesboro. The Barclay tops them all in the hospitality offered....Marie Louise and Steve truly make you feel welcome and comfortable! We particularly love sitting on their front porch! As others have said, the beach is close by but you are away from the crowds. The weather was a bit cool for the beach, but there was plenty to keep us busy...the aquarium and IMAX, First Landing Park, great restaurants, shopping at my favorite ladies summer clothing store-Beach Buddies. We plan to stay here again in August for the beach and would love to come for Neptune weekend in Sept!

A wonderful B&B! The innkeepers are extremely knowledgeable about the area and events going on, and what they don't know they will find out for you. They made visiting the Virginia Beach and Norfolk area easy--even answering questions about directions while we drove or coming to pick us up when we had walked quite a way off the beaten path looking for a restaurant. The breakfasts were delightful! A light first course of a pastry or danish and fruit was then followed by an amazing succulent second course that filled you up. Always delicious. The conversation each morning with fellow B&B-ers was pleasant, not forced, and supplemented (without being overwhelmed) by the innkeepers. Best house feature is the porch--rocking chairs and side tables perfect for playing games, sharing wine, and dozing... all within blocks of the ocean (but not ruined by the masses shouting, playing, talking on the boardwalk). We stayed in Lillian's Room. The bed and linens were extremely comfortable, though the room was a bit smaller than I had imagined, so accordingly the bed was a bit smaller, and attached restroom was more than sufficient but not very large. The advertised air jet tub for this room is just a standard sized bathtub, with jets along the bottom few inches. The little extras of the B&B make it worth it--the afternoon cookies, the bottle of sherry for a night cap, the brewed coffee every morning, and stocked pantry of snacks and sodas make for a comfortable, relaxing stay.

I am not a person who would normally go to a B and B, or so I thought, since I tend to be more introverted. But the innkeepers make you feel right at home without being intrusive and feeling like they have to be yakking with you to make you feel comfortable. The rooms are pristine clean, with incredible linens. I really appreciated all the little touches throughout...the antique dolls and quilts, books everywhere, wonderful pictures of Mrs. Barclay from the inn's former school house days. But when one goes to the beach, the idea is to be comfortable and to have fun. The location makes this 100% possible because you are a block away from the "madding crowds" of tourists and kitsch, and resting comfortably in a stately and serene environment. Best of all, you have a place to park, something not to be taken lightly in the Virginia Beach area! The homemade food is fabulous. Others have commented on the quality of the table settings, I heartily concur!

I know I now live in LA and I stayed here a few months back but I had to Yelp this place. on to my review... I came to Barclay because it was a part of a 'package' through beachweddingsvirigina.com which included a wedding ceremony, flowers, pictures, a DVD and a two night stay at the cottage. My husband I decided to elope and this seemed like the perfect deal. We lived in NY so it was a nice drive to get down to Virginia Beach. This place was amazing! It was my first time to a B&B so I didn't really know what I was in for. When we arrived we had our own parking spot. The cottage is a big Victorian house with a wrap around porch on the top floor and bottom floor. It sits on the corner of a street, three blocks from the Atlantic ocean. The place was beautiful, a living room with a TV and DVD's to choose from. A large dining room table. Fine china set in an antique hutch. tons of books and games. restaurant menus. old photographs lining the walls...everything just oozed comfort and nostalgia, like I was visiting with a relative. The innkeepers were so helpful, warm and inviting. they gave us tips about where to go and even drove us down to the beach for our wedding. There was coffee brewed every morning waiting for us downstairs. We spent each morning sitting on the porch right outside our room sipping coffee and sitting in comfy rocking chairs to watch the day break and the dark become light. Then it was off to the most amazing breakfasts made by the innkeepers. I didn't even mind sitting every morning with my fellow B&B'ers to share a meal and some conversation. During the day there was a lot to do-a quick walk to the beach, miniature golf, a museum, a restaurant... Overall, it was a wonderful experience and if I ever get back to the east coast for an anniversary or a vacation I would definitely book a room at the Barclay Cottage.
