We were looking for a spot to break our journey across to Tofino, and found this place via Trip Advisor – it was the perfect B&B! Located off the main road through Coombs, so it was very quiet and peaceful, Barb and Marcel have a lovely home and our guest room was tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. It was the...

We we're checking out the island for possible retirement property between Duncan and Comox and chose Thyme away because it was out of the cities and in a rural setting, which is what we hope to find. It central mid-island location and easy access to the highways made our daily forays easy. Barb and Marcel were gracious hosts. The room... More

Last summer we took at 3 weeks tour of the west coast. Thyme Away was one of our favorite places we stayed. The setting was beautiful. Barb took us for a tour of the property and introduced us to her horse and the alpacas. The room was very comfortable, and quite pretty. We (such as it is) enjoyed learning about... More

Our 2 night stay on 7th and 8th August 2012 was total relaxation with Barb and Marcel, the cute alpaca trio and Duster, the horse. Breakfasts were splendid and both bedrooms so cosy and clean. The welcome was warm from our hosts and we had an immediate sense of 'belonging' there for our stay. No hesitation in recommending Thyme Away!

Had a great time on the island and was very happy with the lodging in coombs. Barb and Marcel are awsome hosts, breakfast was great and the peace and quiet was a treat. My wife and I were on a 4000km motorbike trip and this was our first time staying at B&B's and I will do it again for sure.... More

We spent one night at Thyme Away in Coombs mid-June and had a great time there: we were warmly welcomed, the bedroom was really nice, and we had the best breakfast of all our stay in British Columbia. The pancakes of Barb were really excellent! I would definitely recommend Thyme Away B&B

We stayed with Barb and Marcel at the end of May 2012. Although the weather was a bit wet, Thyme Away was sunny and warm throughout our two day stay. Barb and Marcel were very accomodating about our unusual vacation schedules.. Marcel added to our vacation with his excellent cooking and fascinating stories about his past life in the forestry...

We enjoyed a short break with Barb and Marcel at the end of March, 2012. They have a beautiful home, in idyllic surroundings on he outskirts of Coombs. Their welcome was warm, our room extremely comfortable and Marcel's breakfasts were incredible - delicious, varied and sustaining.

Such a lovely place! It really is a slice of heaven tucked away. The main house was stunning! My friend and I were only able to stay one night unfortunately :( Even though we were a little ahead of the season Coombs starts to come alive with tourists, Barb and Marcel were kind enough to start their season a little...
