My wife and I just returned home from another visit to Barclay Cottage in Virginia Beach. 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 the Cottage was like returning to see an old friend. Every nook and cranny of the 100+ year old inn (also a school for a number of years) is full of charm and comfort from another era with original woodwork, antiques, a homey great room and each meticulously detailed and comfortable guest room. Steve and Marie-Louise have combined casual ambience, friendship and service like we have not experienced at other B & B’s.
The highlight for me is breakfast served at 9:00AM. Coffee is ready for guests around 6:00AM and it is a great start to the day to grab a cup and sit on the first or second floor wrap-around porches and admire the gardens and the birds. A little before 9:00AM guests begin to gather in the great room with comfortable stuffed chairs and sofa and here is where the magic begins. It is such a pleasure to rekindle friendships from previous visits because if you visit once, you will want to come back. This morning we had breakfast with a guest we met during a previous visit and it was wonderful to catch up with each other while meeting new “friends” at the breakfast table. Steve and Marie-Louise always join the guests after serving one of Marie-Louise’s delightful-and to die for-breakfasts that always amaze me and the other guests. Our hosts have a down to earth way about themselves that fosters interesting and friendly conversation among the guests about each other and about a variety of topics. My wife and I have never enjoyed a finer breakfast experience than that provided by Steve and Marie-Louise at Barclay Cottage.
Virginia Beach has a lot to offer throughout the year with many fine restaurants and attractions. Steve and Marie-Louise know the area well and can offer as much or as little help as you wish. They are always accommodating and truly enjoy helping guests get the most out of their visit. We are already planning our next visit and I urge you to book your stay at this gem if you plan on visiting Virginia Beach. Just be prepared to want to return.

Terrific hosts, very good food. They also provided free beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, bottled water, sodas, and snacks, which included the most delicious chocolate chip cookies anywhere (they're worth the trip alone). Genuinely can't wait to return, and this time, for a longer stay.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Barclay. We were in town that weekend for a conference and it was so nice to come back to the Inn to relax and wind down after such a busy day. The breakfasts and other snacks were delicious and hearty, our room was very cozy, and our host was very welcoming and accomodating.

What a wonderful place to stay in Virginia Beach.The owners Stephen and Marie-Louise LaFond are warm and friendly.The rooms are beautiful, we stayed in Alice's Room. A great breakfast, with many extras are included in your stay. Their dinner advise can't be beat. If you want a quite and relaxing place to stay, Barclay Cottage should be your choice.

EXCELLENT... Wow.. our stay at the Barclay Cottage (23-27 june 08 ) was the best B@B that we were in... Steve and Marie-Louise were the perfect host..The breakfast settin was gorgeous and the food really homemade taste... Many time I did ask Steven for directions or things to see and I felt that he was really enjoying helping us...The cottage is quier...affordable and we really felt like it was home away from home..we were close to the beach but away form the heavy trafic..If yu want to enjoy a short or a long vacation, do not hesitate to pick the Barclay Cottage for yur stay....

Steve and Marie-Louise, the hosts at Barclay Cottage were so welcoming, and their inn was so comfortable that it was hard to leave on Monday morning. Our room was lovely, spotless, and had a mattress so comfortable that we plan to buy one like it for ourselves. Bikes, beach chairs, towels, and even sunscreen were at the ready for our use, and one of our hosts worked hard to arrange a kayak tour for us on a day when none were being officially offered. Breakfast both days was delicious and the company was great. We thought it was a great touch that Steve and Marie-Louise made a point of participating in the breakfast conversations to help everyone feel at home. The crowning touch was the fact that the inn is only two blocks from the ocean. We are already recommending Barclay Cottage to our friends.

I returned home yesterday from Barclay and just looking at the pictures makes me sad that I'm not sitting there now. I cannot say enough about this bed & breakfast. Everything was perfect. My boyfriend took me there as a surprise and actually ended up proposing over the weekend. Steve and Marie-Louise helped to make the weekend so special for us. From an early morning picnic, to mimosas at breakfast, to a "Happy Engagement" sign, to a personalized call to a restaurant ensuring that we had the best seats, to a champagne toast on one of the amazing porches in the evening - they went above and beyond. I really could keep going with all the 'extras', but for the sake of length, will move on:)
The property itself is amazing. Located just two blocks from the beach, it feels just like home. There is relaxing music in the rooms, wide porches with rocking chairs, beach cruisers, and the stay even includes beach towels and chairs! The breakfast that we had each morning was phenomenal. I would stay at this bed & breakfast for the food alone!
I couldn't keep the secret of the wonderful Barclay Cottage (not to mention Steve and Marie-Louise) to myself. Every single time that we are back in Virginia Beach, we will be staying at Barclay Cottage. I suggest you treat yourself and do the same!

Beautiful B&B! Exceptionally comfortable, warm and friendly . . . we felt right at home! Stephen and Marie-Louise were extremely helpful supplying us with local information and accomodating our early-morning departure plans. Breakfast was delicious! All the little extras throughout our stay made it most enjoyable. Definitely deserves the highest B&B ratings!
