We had stayed here under the prior owners. I was disappointed to no longer have a gourmet breakfast, but Chris more than made up for this. He helped me navigate the push-button locks and got me a key fob for our room (just in case). He advised a few breakfast spots (both excellent) and provided us with a clean, comfortable room. We'll definitely stay with him again.

Most of all, we loved the hospitality of the owners. They were very gracious and full of local history and information. They were very good at balancing when they needed to be available and when we needed privacy. They are a very lovely couple, and we would definitely stay at Barclay on our next visit to Virginia Beach.

This was our first experience staying at a Bed and Breakfast. We hit the jackpot. Rick provided incredible breakfast. Sharon has done a wonderful job decorating. It was such a relaxing environment. Perfect proximity to the beach. We really enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Just what we were looking for. Thank you Rick and Sharon.
