Wished we could have stayed longer at this lovely B & B. As long-time visitors to Virginia Beach, all our previous stays had been at the big beachfront hotels. This time, we decided to try something different and were glad we did. Although not on the beachfront, the B & B is a short 3-block walk to the broadwalk and... More

This lovely, hidden gem of a B and B is my absolute favorite "go-to" place whenever traveling to Virginia Beach. Tucked away, a bit off the beaten commercial path, it is a soothing, ever comfortable retreat from the hustle and bustle of the usual workday world. Ever so accommodating, Steve and Marie-Louise are, first and foremost, innkeepers extraordinaire! This is... More

My wife and I just returned home from another visit to Barclay Cottage in Virginia Beach over the April 27, 2012 weekend. This time we celebrated our wedding anniversary. As usual, our stay at our “home away from home” was nothing short of perfect. Our hosts, Steve and Marie-Louise greeted us with open arms and walking through the doors of... More

We just returned from the most fantastic B&B in the Virginia Beach area! The accomodations were decorated wonderfully and the rooms were extremely comfortable. The host and hostess, Steve and Marie Louise, lent their expertise on local attractions, things to do and restaurants according to your tastes. They also served the most most awesome gourmet breakfasts - I wish we... More

I made reservations at Barclay cottage for my sisters birthday, for a March stay, It was great we stayed in lillians room, everything was great from the time we walked in until we left. The room was sparkeling (very clean), it was nice and peaceful and when we woke up and went to breakfast it was delicious!! Fresh Fruit, and... More

The Owners made us feel like family. I know, that may sound cliche but it is true. S.&ML were available when we had questions, offered advice freely but NEVER intruded in our space / plans or schedules. The bed was comfy and our room had a private bath. Virginia Beach is always fun but staying in a historic home gave... More

Super clean, delicious breakfast, comfortable, cozy, friendly hosts. Walking distance from the beach and many local seafood restaurants. We could not have had a better time.

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.... More

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... More
