Built in 1895, Barclay Cottage Bed & Breakfast is one of two remaining original beach cottages in Virginia Beach. In 1916, schoolteacher Lillian Barclay moved in — and for the next 50 years, ran a combination lodging house and primary school. Barclay Cottage Bed and Breakfast is an ideal destination for all sorts of Virginia Beach romantic getaways.  From delicious homemade breakfasts to thirsty Turkish towels, you'll enjoy the special treatment and indulgence you'll experience at this gem.

Barclay Cottage
Virginia Beach, Virginia

Like a favorite grandma, this rambling old building gathers you in. Five cozy rooms feature invitingly soft beds, Oriental rugs on wood floors, and lots of antiques - not standoffish "don't touch" specimens but well-used, mismatched pieces. Vintage quilts serve as both decorative accents and bedspreads. Rocking chairs sit along a second-floor porch. It's hard to believe that such a soothing place, on a quiet dead-end street, lies just two and a half blocks from the boisterous beach. Innkeepers Stephen and Marie-Louise LaFond supply lots of nice touches: in-room CD players, books everywhere, bath amenities, and a stocked pantry with free snacks and beverages.
