I picked this BNB because it was reviewed as having fantastic breakfasts, and it did! Old Thyme Inn was very charming, and had a nice garden outside. We stayed in the Oregano room, upstairs. I chose this room because it was a little less expensive and had a clawfoot tub! The bed was very comfortable, and the tub was incredible.... More

I have been feeling the pressure of just day-to-day and needed a respite. We chanced upon the Old Thyme Inn, in Half Moon Bay and discovered two days of total peace and tranquility. Rick and Kathy made us feel like family right as we arrived. Simple, yet elegant is the best way to describe the décor. Our room had a... More

My spouse and I went to the Old Thyme Inn to celebrate an anniversary. From my first telephone chat with Rick through the intake by Kathy to the last minute it was relaxing, graceful time. The Inn is on the main street of Half Moon Bay, not on the Ocean but in a perfect position to use as a base... More

The chamomile room warm yellow walls, a butterfly window and a sky light over the tub created a place of peace all the way to the shell that scoops the bath salts. The grapefruit at breakfast baked 2 perfection simply divine. Only thing... More

I called from the airport for a reservation and Kathy was vary helpful and accomodating. When I arrived she showed me around like she was showing a house guest her home. She helped me with my heavy luggage up the stairs. The room was so sweet and comfortable and the breakfast was divine. I will come back again.
