The village also played a pivotal role in the English Civil War, with its strategic location and proximity to Oxford making it a site of significant military action. But Kirtlington isn't just a place for history buffs and nature enthusiasts. The village is also home to a vibrant community of artists, writers, and musicians, and hosts a range of cultural events and festivals throughout the year.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, an active outdoor adventure, or a dose of culture and history, Kirtlington offers something for everyone. So why not come and discover this charming village for yourself?
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.

We stayed at ÖÖD house for my husband's birthday recently, it was a surprise to him and he absolutely loved it! I am Estonian myself and I honestly felt like being back in my home country, everything was so pristine and perfect. The tiny house had everything we needed, even a lovely fresh loaf of bread and butter and most importantly milk for a cafetiere coffee (just the way the Estonians have it 🙂)👌. Would highly recommend it for anyone who loves nature and needs a little break away from their busy lives. Perfect place to re-charge and be in the moment ✨
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!
