We have stayed multiple times at this excellent B&B - and this time our anniversary trip coincided with the Neptune Festival weekend. What a wonderful way to combine the fun, excitement and activity of the beach with the quiet, serene, relaxing pampering we received while guests at the Cottage! The entire B&B is tidy and aesthetically pleasing to the eye....

Our trip was mixed business and nostalgia trip so I wanted to stay at a B n B. Barley Cottage is an historic building a couple blocks from the beach with wonderful porches. All of the rooms are lovely, comfy and have nice antiques and old fashioned touches. The baths are super clean, the towels great, linens high count and...

Love the title of your review. Yes, Virginia is wonderful in the winter! The Christmas light show along the Boardwalk is very special and goes until January 2.
If you're bringing a gift of fruit, please don't make it oranges or grapefruit, since we get a fresh bushel shipped from Florida every month ... I guess I forgot to mention...

My husband and I, plus our two teenaged boys stayed here over Spring Break. Great location to walk the beach. Owners are very knowledgeable about where to eat, etc. Breakfasts were excellent. The only issue we had was with using their bikes. We had multiple break downs- flat tires, a pedal falling off, all of course very fair from the...

Well, this surely was a huge disappointment and we are so sorry that one of our bikes broke down...we do maintain them regularly and replace two of them a year and I guess you were here before we did that, since it was before our "season" that you were here in the spring. Sometimes it is hard to predict things...

I just wanted to get away from everything for a couple of days and be close to the beach. Twenty floors of hotel madness just wasn't going to cut it. I needed a bit of peace...to do a bit of writing. To clean the mind. To rock on a wooden porch under the light waft of ceiling fan air knowing...

Thank you for your beautiful review! We are happy that you stayed with us and were able to get the time for writing that you needed. Can't wait to read that new book...do you think we'll recognize ourselves? Can you make us thinner?

This is a must if staying in Virginia beach Virginia. More than just home from home. Great American welcome, exceedingly comfortable. Great breakfast and Stephen and Marie-Louise make you very welcome.
Just yards from the beach, ample parking and every amenity you could wish for.

We tend to stay at a hotel when we visit the beach, but this time we decided to do something different and stay at a smaller B&B, with a real B&B feel. Friends had told me about the incredible hospitality at The Barclay Cottage and we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Marie-Louise is an absolute gem....

When my husband and I decided it was time for a beach vacation I came upon the reviews for barclay cottage and found it hard to believe that no one had anything bad to say. Now we know why. Steve and Marie Louise (and miss molly) were wonderful hosts, with helpful suggestions on things to do, quieter beach spots and...

I wanted to leave my review for this wonderful place. My husband and I spent a few days for our honeymoon at the light house room and we were so incredibly impressed. The decor of the room is completely on point and the whole place was just so clean.
I don't know if there is anything more I can say...

Thank you so much for your very kind review. We are flattered that you chose to spend your honeymoon with us. We were so happy to help you start out your new life together as Mr. and Mrs. Well, I hope that Steve would not let me go! But thank you for that sweet thought! We will look forward to...

For our 33rd wedding anniversary celebration, my husband and I decided to do something different so we opted to stay at a B&B instead of a high rise hotel near the beach. Using the internet, we looked at the different B&B’s in Virginia Beach and they all looked nice, but finally choose Barclay Cottage because of its proximity to the...

My daughter and I recently spent 3 nights at Barclay B and B and had a great time. The innkeepers felt like family and facilitated many activities while we were there. The breakfasts were marvelous. I cant wait to return.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your stay with us! I love the title of the review and now, maybe we should change the name of that room...your offering is much more creative! Glad you had a good time. We did, too!
