Vimy House was unofficially dubbed as such back in the 90s by a family friend who noticed that the monument dedicated to the crashing of the Alcock & Brown plane in the area in 1919, was visible across the bay from the home and then suggested the house should be named after the Vimy Bomber. The property has since been passed down to the son of the original builders and owners of the house and it felt only right that we should officially name the house in their memory.
Hi, we are a young family living on the property in Vimy House. The house was built in the 80s by the owners parents who did rent out several of the rooms of the house as B&B a few decades back, we like to think we are carrying on this grand tradition of hosting travelers who wish to visit this scenic and historic area in our own way. The dog on the property is named Cleo, she is a very active Border Collie who will absolutely accompany you on all your walks and will attempt to move in with you at any given opportunity. This hosting gig has been an absolute highlight for her as she is gaining so many friends who pet her and sometimes give her tasty treats.
The property is surrounded by properties exclusively owned by relatives of the host including the lovely Ardmore House B&B nexxt door, owners of which have allowed access to our guests to their private cliff walk, located at the end of the road. You reach the house by driving along the scenic lower Sky Road, with the viewing point on the Upper Sky Road visible from the property - reachable by car, bike or foot if the weather permits. Vimy House prides itself on creating an atmosphere of peace and relaxation, with mountain views and a garden swing to unwind at the end of your day no doubt filled with exploration. The hosts live on the property, right next door in the original house built by the owners parents back in the 80s and has been undergoing some cosmetic upgrades since the new owners took over to modernise and adapt for a young family.
