Situated in a tranquil valley a few hundred yards from the famous White Cliffs of Dover sits Reach Court Farm. Owned by Derek and Jacqui Mitchell, the farm has been in the Mitchell family for over 70 years and, although most of the present day farming activities take place at an adjoining farm, it still retains its rural characteristics.
Purchased in 1934 by Mr and Mrs Gilbert W. Mitchell, Reach Court Farm is rich in anecdotes and history. The farm was left in a position of great exposure after the announcement of the Second World War. The area became known as Hellfire Corner, with the Battle of Britain raging overhead.

We recently stayed here for the week and had a fantastic family holiday. It is a peaceful place to relax and you can meet the 2 horses Ashbee and Gucci. The rooms are great and it was nice to have 2 toilets. There is free WiFi available too. Recommend the walk you can do which goes through the woodland behind the cottages and it brings you out onto a WW2 heritage trail which has a few bunkers you can walk around. It’s only about a 8 minute walk and you are on the cliff top edge next to South Foreland Lighthouse. Highly recommend to stay here.

Six of us had a fantastic week here. The cottage was very spacious and clean and had everything we required. The location was extremely pretty. Plenty of wildlife to watch. A lovely bbq area available to use with plenty of seating. A short walk to the amazing white cliffs of Dover. So much history along the way too. Pubs and cafes within walking distance, although we did use our car a lot. The owner, Jamie responded very quickly to our txts and was very pleasant and helpful. Couldn't fault anything. Would love to visit again and would certainly recommend reach court farm.

Reach Farm Cottages are the perfect location from which to visit Dover Castle. You will be able to extent the World War II tunnel experience into your domestic setting including coin operated electricity, a complete lack of central heating, bathing in cold water and pillows made of wadding. Comfort is certainly on the ration at Reach Farm. Whilst one doesn't expect luxury on a low budget, some basic improvements are urgently required to bring these nicely located rental properties up to modern standards.

Beautiful setting with easy access to walks on the stunning White Cliffs. A good base for exploring Canterbury and the Thames/Channel coast.
The cottages are well decorated, bed linen and towels provided, plus a good range of crockery and glassware. Two small niggles, the Internet connection wasn't always reliable, (but we're on holiday so actually it's a blessing), and more baking trays for oven cooking would have been appreciated, because we're on holiday and like to do things the easy way!
