We’re fairly jaded travelers and it takes something special to impress us. Well, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm and inviting hosts at Barclay Cottage and the genuinely relaxing atmosphere. Sharon and Rich have added the small details that make a B&B stay unique and that set it apart from an impersonal hotel. Tastefully decorated rooms, a comfortable bed, clean linens, thoughtful amenities, and little touches that clearly show the experience of the proprietors. Breakfast was a real treat and something you should not miss!
This was an off-season trip, unfortunately, so the beach was quiet and we could only spend a short time on the balcony. We would definitely like to return in the spring to see the gardens in bloom and enjoy the ocean breeze. Highly recommended for a romantic getaway or relaxing stay near the beach during whale watching season. Although I’m sure the area is loud and bustling in the summer, Barclay Cottage is an oasis that you look forward to returning to and hate to leave.
Needless to say, this was a fantastic B&B experience thanks in no small part to the care and kindness of our hosts. Rich and Sharon really make you feel welcomed and like family, genuine and lovely people who are also excellent innkeepers. Highly, highly recommended!
