“Quaint, quiet Inn for a relaxing get-away . . .”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 2, 2012

Rick and Kathy of the Old Thyme Inn are wonderful and have thought of everything to make your stay unforgettable. OTI is a cute little place to slip away from the hustle of the city. The rooms are quiet, clean, comfortable and darling and the property is well kept and relaxing. I loved the wine and cheese hour upon our arrival and the breakfast was to die for! We'll definitely be back.

Room Tip: Get one of the rooms with the jacuzzi tub and fireplace . . . it's worth the extra money.

“Girls' R&R. A great retreat!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 21, 2012

It was a quick trip to Half Moon Bay but one night said it all. We had wine & cheese at the inn, then a great local dinner and afterwards dropped into a VERY comfortable feather bed with the best linens ever! My girlfriend had a room to herself as did I and we loved every minute of it. Mine had a fireplace and whirlpool tub which were both a treat (especially with the Lavender Bath Salts!) Our breakfast was a yummy french toast which was served with fresh fruit, and chicken sausage along with a great breakfast cake. The fresh-ground coffee was the best I've ever had. Thanks for a much-needed retreat. PC from Sonoma

“A fabulous place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 11, 2012

My husband and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary at the Old Thyme Inn, and we had such a wonderful time. Rick and Kathy were great hosts. The breakfasts each morning were incredible - not only were they delicious, they were beautifully presented as well. There are so many nearby beaches to explore, it's in a quaint downtown, and San Francisco is just a short drive away if you want to explore the city as well. If you are looking to stay in the area I would highly recommend the Old Thyme Inn!

Room Tip: We stayed in the Garden room, which had it's own entrance and was larger, I believe, than the ot...

“Half Moon Bay Hide-a-Way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 2, 2012

What a wonderful, relaxing getaway! A cloud of a bed with luxurious sheets, claw foot tub and fireplace. Old Thyme Inn was quiet, clean and private. Innkeepers Kathy and Rick are friendly, make a great breakfast, and can steer you to restaurants or day trips. Excellent location in downtown Half Moon Bay.

Room Tip: Opt for the rooms with the fireplace!

“Nice Get Away!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2012

We stayed two nights at this charming B&B right on main street but on far end of town. Rick was pleasant and gave wonderful suggestions at things to do, places to visit and great recommendations for dining out. Breakfast was great starting with fresh fruit with a bit of mint from his garden and muffins, then one day we had a mushroom,spinach, feta cheese omelet and next morning homemake blueberry pancakes. The garden area was quite relaxing. They also provide wine and cheese at 5 pm daily. We highly recommend it for a nice get away from the ever hectic pace of urban life.
