This was a very intimate stay. My wife and I enjoyed the interesting conversations that we had with the owners and other guests during the morning breakfasts. Rich and Sharon (the owners) were fabulous. The breakfasts were beyond our expectations. They were more like what you would see at a 5 star restaurant. The location is only 3 blocks from the oceanfront, which was very convenient. Parking can be expensive in the area, so having a place to park was great! The rooms were well kept. The bathroom was spacious, although it was down the hallway. That can be a challenge if you are someone who has to make 'bathroom trips' in the middle of the night. All in all , it was a great time.

We went to Virginia Beach for a graduation and stayed three nights. Rich and Sharon went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Our room was perfect and sitting on the porch was relaxing. Rich's breakfasts were amazing! He clearly enjoys whipping up creative and yummy dishes. We had a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back!

Amazing
This is a beautiful, spotless house on a truly quiet street. The owners/hosts are taking great care of the house and all their guests individually. Their talents come through in abundance, including great communication and professional consistency. The home and the yard are extraordinary tastefully decorated, while remaining practical. A special treat here is a carefully prepared tasty breakfast you would expect only in some high-end restaurants. The owner is a talented humble chef. We highly recommend this property. What a wonderful experience we’ve had!

We’re fairly jaded travelers and it takes something special to impress us. Well, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm and inviting hosts at Barclay Cottage and the genuinely relaxing atmosphere. Sharon and Rich have added the small details that make a B&B stay unique and that set it apart from an impersonal hotel. Tastefully decorated rooms, a comfortable bed, clean linens, thoughtful amenities, and little touches that clearly show the experience of the proprietors. Breakfast was a real treat and something you should not miss! This was an off-season trip, unfortunately, so the beach was quiet and we could only spend a short time on the balcony. We would definitely like to return in the spring to see the gardens in bloom and enjoy the ocean breeze. Highly recommended for a romantic getaway or relaxing stay near the beach during whale watching season. Although I’m sure the area is loud and bustling in the summer, Barclay Cottage is an oasis that you look forward to returning to and hate to leave. Needless to say, this was a fantastic B&B experience thanks in no small part to the care and kindness of our hosts. Rich and Sharon really make you feel welcomed and like family, genuine and lovely people who are also excellent innkeepers. Highly, highly recommended!

Rich and Sharon are welcoming and attentive. Their home is tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Rich is a wonderful cook who thoughtfully packed me a to-go bag when I had to miss his breakfast service. Highly recommend!
