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.

My partner and I had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend!
We had an absolutely beautiful stay at the mirror house in kirtlington!! Everything is super organised and all essentials provided by the hosts. A small recommendation if I may add- a hook or a hanging space near the hot tub would be handy. We’ll be visiting soon again♥️
My only complaint is that I did not stay longer! It was the most relaxing, serene stay that I’ve had in a while. The views from inside looking out made me feel like I was one with nature and at peace - it also contributed to a very comfortable sleep. Lucy was very attentive and accommodating, topping up any items that were low whilst we stayed. When I had issues getting the fire started for the hot tub, she was very helpful and offered to assist (I in the end got it going lol). All basic items were provided, including toilet tissue and hand roll. The nearby eateries were also very pleasant whether you wanted wholesome pub food or a cheeky nandos, all were within 20mins drive. I will most definitely be returning!
