This was my third stay at Barclay and I knew I could count on an excellent experience. Marie-Louise and Steve are the best hosts and know how to accommodate every need. Room was clean and very comfortable, breakfasts were delicious and the atmosphere wonderfully homey! Steve and Marie-Louise know how to cater to their customers; we were there for the... More

I am torn whether or not to actually post this review... only because I want to have a room at my disposal whenever I go to VA Beach; yes it's that wonderful! Steve and Marie-Louise are awesome hosts! When you figure in all the amenities (delicious and very filling breakfasts, snacks, entertainment, extra beach towels, free wi-fi and much more),... More

Out of anywhere I could have stayed in VA beach, I'm glad my best friend and I chose Barclay. The rates are reasonable, the stay is homey, the breakfasts are great, and the location is perfect. The B&B is walking distance to the beach and a lot of great restaurants. The owners truly thought of everything! You can borrow their... More

A bit pricey, but you are treated very well. Rooms are a shade small though. Very friendly owners with a wonderful and filling breakfast and conversation. Short walk to beach. All of the small details (cookies, sherry, snacks) are provided.

I've been a regular for a couple of years now and there are a multitude of reasons why, most of which are revealed by the authors of the numerous positive reviews here on Trip Advisor and elsewhere. You can find my first review on Trip Advisor in which I focus on the particular kindness and gentle humanity of Stephen and... More

Steve and Marie were definitely born to be hosts of a B&B!!! They are extremely welcoming and encourage you to explore the entire inn. We were there in November, it was quite cold and quiet in Virginia Beach as well as at the Bed And Breakfast. They could not have been more accommodating. From the bottle of sherry left out... More

Barclay Cottage at Virginia Beach is two blocks from the waves, but seems much farther from the stark highrises that front on the walk. It is a lovely building in which you find multitudes of interesting items wherever you look. The innkeeper has added conveniences and touches that are pleasing--ones that one may not even think of requesting. I thoroughly... More

Where do I begin? I have had 3 delightful stays at Barclay Cottage and plan more for the future. Both the cottage and the innkeepers are charming and the accomodations offer a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. From the time you arrive until the day you depart, you will be embraced with lavish hospitality (but not intrusively), well appointed-clean-quiet rooms, and... More

This is the third or fourth time we've stayed at Barclay Cottage and it had been a few years since our last stay. This was past the summer season and Virginia Beach was quiet. Marie-Louise and Steve (the innkeepers) were gracious hosts just as we remembered. The breakfasts over our three day stay were nothing short of amazing! Roasted pepper... More
