Kirtlington & the Budgetts
Charlie and Lucy live on the family farm where Charlie grew up, along with their three young children Daisy, Isabella and Freddie. Having recently taken over the running of the farm, they are working to continue the diversification instigated by Charlie’s parents, James and Roo.
Alongside agriculture, horses are a big feature of the farm which is home to Kirtlington Park Polo Club, started by Charlie’s Great Grandfather, Hugh Budgett, in 1926. In more recent years, Charlie has restarted a stud breeding flat race horses on the same land where his Grandfather, Arthur Budgett, bred horses in the 50s and 60s, including two Derby winners. There are now also offices in old farm buildings and a vet practice on site too.
The Mirror Houses are located in woodland in a quiet area of the farm next to a lake designed by Capability Brown in the early 1750s. With their mirrored exteriors reflecting the trees and nature around them, they blend into the woods allowing guests to experience this wonderful, peaceful spot in a very different way.
Kirtlington UK site rules:
No driving fast (above 15mph) whilst on Park Farm.
No swimming in the lake.
No children under 16 – only babies in arms.
No smoking inside the houses.
No loud music.
No naked flames other than BBQ inside or outside the houses.

We had an amazing experience at the mirror houses. The whole ambience and aesthetics was great. There was so much attention to detail that we wasn't expecting. It was my fiancée's birthday and he loves nature so was incredibly happy to be there. We didn't unfortunately get to use the hot tub as the weather did not permit, however we were glad to see that the team already had it prepared for us when we arrived. Thank you so much to Lucy and the team. We will defo be back

We had the most wonderful stay with OOD! The hosts were very generous and attentive - the cabin was stocked with lots of goodies, toiletries, and equipment. And it was super warm, very clean, and comfortable too. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. Ideal if you have a car but not impossible to get to the cabin and around the local area without. We've never stayed anywhere like this before and would 100% visit again!
