Romantic Interest
The Inn's seven guest rooms (all with private bath) take their names from our garden— the Garden, Thyme, Rosemary, Mint, Lavender, Chamomile and Oregano rooms. Each is uniquely decorated with lovely antiques, sumptuous beds with crisp all-cotton linens, original fine art and fresh cut flowers. Cozy fireplaces and/or luxurious whirlpool tubs-for-two are available. All rooms offer cable TV with VCR and feature Essentiel Elements spa amenities.
Historic Interest
Built in 1898, Old Thyme Inn was the home of the Gilcrest family, prominent in early Half Moon Bay life. George Gilcrest was principal of the local school and the town's druggist.
