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!

The hosts were lovely. The house is beautiful. Owners think of everything. Great breakfast provided! Parking a little bit of a challenge, especially if you have a bigger vehicle. Had to share a bathroom, but wasn’t really an issue. We had some drinks taken from the shared fridge, I’m sure by mistake, but I would suggests you label your food and drinks.

I can’t say enough good things about Barkley’s Cottage. Rich and Sharon were wonderful hosts, very welcoming and accommodating. The cottage was well furnished with attention to detail. The comfortable porches were an added bonus. The breakfast’s were 5 star! We plan to return the next time we visit the Beach!

We really enjoyed our stay with Rich and Sharon! We especially looked forward to breakfast each morning. They made unique dishes for the guests that were always delicious. They also offered bikes which we used along the board walk and optional beach umbrellas and chairs They were very friendly and available when needed but also gave us our privacy. Would definitely stay again!

This b&b is adorable, it looks like it belongs somewhere in a storybook seaside town. The bed was clean and comfortable, the owners served amazing, 4-star breakfast daily, and were supremely helpful and friendly during our stay. My best friend and I were utterly charmed by their hospitality and the friendliness of their kitty, Fiona. I cannot recommend them enough!

Barclay Cottage B&B-top quality lodging
My wife and I were in Virginia Beach for the Memorial Day weekend. We were looking for lodging within walking distance to the beach, but far enough way so that it would be quiet at night. This B&B fit those requirements perfectly, and the owners provided us with a top quality lodging experience, including some of the best breakfast I have ever eaten!

I had the most relaxing stay ever at Rich and Sharon’s bed and breakfast. I felt welcomed and comfortable and safe and relaxed. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, the company was the best, being able to have a massage in the room right next-door to my comfortable bedroom was amazing. I cannot wait to come back to this bed-and-breakfast. They thought of everything to make my stay comfortable. You cannot beat the location. A safe easy two blocks from the beach. I truly appreciated being able to borrow a bicycle to enjoy the oceanfront boardwalk. This is the best place I have ever stayed at and Rich and Sharon felt like instant friends. I hesitate to tell you all how much I absolutely loved the Barclay bed-and-breakfast because I don’t want it to be booked when I go to come back this fall.☺️
