Barclay Bed & Breakfast

We visited for Groundhog Day weekend 2013. The house is very pretty and the common areas such as the dining room, living area, and kitchen are "homey", welcoming, clean, and nicely decorated. I felt right at home. Our Innkeeper, Lisa, was friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. You will not go hungry! The only downfall with staying during GHD is that during this time the rates will obviously be higher than usual with a minimum 2 night stay. One night is really enough for this little town. Nonetheless, this B&B is centrally located and within walking distance of the park, library, bars, restaurants, shopping, and all the action for GHD. I did not have the pleasure of viewing any of the rooms other than the Myers in which we stayed. The room was clean and spacious enough for 2 people. However, the only drawback is that since this house is so old, the room is not equipped with any heat. If you are staying during the winter months in this room, request space heaters and extra blankets. Lisa was kind enough to provide us with both as the temperature on this weekend was 1 degree and the room was significantly colder than the rest of the house. My only wish would have been for maybe a reduction in the rate for a room with no heat. Regardless, I highly recommend Barclay if you are visiting Punxy. You can't go wrong with the location, staff, and quality of breakfast. Thanks Lisa! Kim & Tom

We returned to Punxsutawney to attend mass at the church that we were married in 50 years ago. We have multiplied to 21, 19 were able to join us. My cousin suggested the bed and breakfast and we began planning with Lisa, there was a room for each of my children and spouses and the grandchildren ages 9 to 20 were comfortably housed on the third floor with their own bath and sitting room. The house became a home away from home with the easy personality of the innkeeper, Lisa. She made a beautiful breakfast, we have stayed at many B & Bs and sometimes they are a bit stuffy, here there is beauty and comfort. Also in the tech age the first questions from the kids, was there wi fi and tv and there is. You can also use the gazebo on the property and walk to the park and downtown area. Will give this a five star rating all the way around and look forward to our next trip "home".

My husband and I attended a family wedding in town for the weekend. Lisa, the innkeeper was so understanding when we arrived later than scheduled. She made us feel so welcome. The breakfast she served both days were exceptional! She even took time from her busy schedule to give me a tour of the town. The house has so much history, it took me back in time with all the decor selected for the period of the house. For my next visit to Punxsutawney The Barclay House will be my first choice.

Stayed at the Barclay June 24, 2012 and left the 25th. Short visit in to visit my son at the IUP Culinary School just down the street. Punxsy has very limited locations to stay. SOOO glad we came across the Barclay! House was just beautiful! Very clean too! Lisa was Great! Beds were very comfy! We have already booked 2 rooms for August, 2012 for IUP's Culinary Ceremony. A hidden treasure if you are in the Punxsy area! Looking forward to our return visit!!! Thanks Lisa!

We stayed the 7th of May while visiting friends. This was the first time staying at a B&B and we couldnt have been more pleased. The Innkeeper was very friendly and went out of her way to insure a comfortable stay.I will be recommending this to friends as a place to stay when visiting the area.

I stayed in Punxsy on business, and had a great deal of trouble finding somewhere to stay with such as limited hotel selection. The client I handled recommended Lisa, and the Barclay B&B. Having never stayed at a B&B before, I was somewhat anxious in trying this, but decided to go for it. I was instantly impressed at the sheer magnificence of the Barclay, and how well maintained it is kept. I came into Punxsy on business, but truly felt as though it was a vacation. If you are staying, I highly recommend spending a few dollars more and staying in the 'Dinsmore' room. You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I stayed at Barclay bed & breakfast and had a wonderful time. Lisa our host was absolutely wonderful! The breakfast that we had were delicous and Lisa makes everything from scratch. The room we stayed in was spacious and homey. We would definately stay there again. Thanks Lisa for making our stay so warm and comfortable. Chris and David Sinclair

My coworker and I had to visit some properties in the Punxsutawney area. We didn't know what time we would be finally arriving after reviewing some of them but Lisa said just to call her a few minutes in advance and she would be there to check us in. We did and we met the nicest Innkeeper ever. Barclay's is a beautiful historic building and everything is very well maintained. The place is clean and very comfortable. The next morning we had a complete breakfast of fruit, juice, omelets, assorted meats and toast. She even brought cookies her mother made. We had a very enjoyable stay and conversation with Lisa.

My husband and I had a birthday party to attend locally and decided to make a weekend of it and stayed at the Barclay. We had never stayed at a B&B before, and we will now be spoiled for all others! Lisa was very welcoming and informative of the area. The home was comfortable and I loved even the little touches to the decorating. We stayed in the Dinsmore and loved having the private bath and sitting area - very worth the money! There were many areas in the house to sit and relax though also. Lisa gave us a tour of the house and we were impressed with all of it. And the breakfast was all fresh and delicious. I couldn't wait to tell all our friends at the party about the wonderful time we had - we almost didn't want to leave!

If you're passing through Punxsutawney it is a must to stay at the Barclay Bed and Breakfast. Lisa goes out of her way to make sure that everyone is enjoying their time and it doesn't hurt that the breakfast is delicious! We were in town for Groundhog Day 2012 all the way from Indianapolis and I was planning to propose to my girlfriend. All I had to do was mention this to Lisa and she ran with it, even going as far to coordinate with the Inner Circle to have the ring tied around Punxsutawney Phil's neck at just the right time. Everything was perfect and it was all thanks to Lisa... and Phil I guess. We will definitely be back sometime in the future!

My husband and I stayed at the Barclay for just an overnight while visiting Punxsutawney. We had never before experienced staying at a B&B and after staying at the Barclay, the bar has been set very high! Loved the convenient in-town location with the view of Barclay Square across the street and easy access to shops and eateries. The decor was exquisite, the Dinsmore suite was inviting and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Innkeeper, Lisa, was extremely accomodating and thoughtful. She even brought my husband some of her mom's homemade flourless cookies after learning of his dietary restrictions. So many special touches at the Barclay! I would highly recommend this B&B.

I stayed at Barclay Bed & Breakfast the week after Thanksgiving. The house was decorated for Christmas with an eye for detail and taste. My room was very comfortable and my hostess did everything within her power to make my stay relaxing and comfortable.

Barclay's B & B was appointed with just the right mix old world charm and modern conveniences. During our many years of visiting family in Punxsutawney, I often wished we could peek at the gorgeous stately homes dotted throughout the town. It was a treat to stay in this home, to learn its rich history and to indulge in a delicious breakfast. Lisa was extremely attentive to our needs. I would certainly recommend this B & B

My husband and I stayed there the night of our honeymoon. It is a beautiful, historic home right in the midst of downtown Punxsutawney. It is very convenient for any local happenings or downtown shopping. The home is warm, inviting, and comfortable. Historic elements of the home are beautifully preserved. Interior design is spectacular with both antique and modern components. The innkeeper goes out of her way to make sure you are happy and settled in. In my opinion, there is no better place to stay for out-of-towners, especially for Groundhog Day!!!

Our stay at the Barclay was fantastic. We were greeted by Lisa, who made us feel very welcome and accommodated all our of our needs. The room was both comfortable and clean. Lisa made some great suggestions on where we could go that evening for dinner. We needed to leave rather early and breakfast was ready and waiting for us. The breakfast was delicious!!! We would highly recommend it to everyone!! When we return to Punxsutawney, we will definitely be staying at the Barclay.
