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.

Everything was amazing. The host was lovely too.
Ood Hotels was a fantastic getaway that really made the weekend magical. Everything was stunningly presented and there was not a single fault. I loved how close it was to Bicester Village, meaning that we had lots to do even when we were not at the mirror houses. We will definitely be returning when the evenings get longer!
This was a perfect spot to re-set and take a break from the busy city! The cabin was so clean and the Lucy was very kind to always ask if we needed anything. Looking forward to making my way back here in the summer.
