I know I now live in LA and I stayed here a few months back but I had to Yelp this place. on to my review...
I came to Barclay because it was a part of a 'package' through http://www.beachweddin... which included a wedding ceremony, flowers, pictures, a DVD and a two night stay at the cottage.
My husband I decided to elope and this seemed like the perfect deal. We lived in NY so it was a nice drive to get down to Virginia Beach.
This place was amazing! It was my first time to a B&B so I didn't really know what I was in for.
When we arrived we had our own parking spot. The cottage is a big Victorian house with a wrap around porch on the top floor and bottom floor. It sits on the corner of a street, three blocks from the Atlantic ocean. The place was beautiful, a living room with a TV and DVD's to choose from. A large dining room table. Fine china set in an antique hutch. tons of books and games. restaurant menus. old photographs lining the walls...everything just oozed comfort and nostalgia, like I was visiting with a relative.
The innkeepers were so helpful, warm and inviting. they gave us tips about where to go and even drove us down to the beach for our wedding. There was coffee brewed every morning waiting for us downstairs. We spent each morning sitting on the porch right outside our room sipping coffee and sitting in comfy rocking chairs to watch the day break and the dark become light.  Then it was off to the  most amazing breakfasts made by the innkeepers.  I didn't even mind sitting every morning with my fellow B&B'ers to share a meal and some conversation.  During the day there was a lot to do-a quick walk to the beach, miniature golf, a museum, a restaurant...
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and if I ever get back to the east coast for an anniversary or a vacation I would definitely book a room at the Barclay Cottage.
