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.

Absolutely hands down the best experience I’ve ever experienced with a quick birthday getaway ! I loved everything about the Mirror House. It was super clean felt comfortable and cozy. We were equipped with everything one may need plus more. Can’t wait to return and stay for longer maybe even try out the other cabins! Lucy was an absolute gem, had the hot tub lite so was already warm when we arrived. Definitely worth the price as you feel like you’re actually on holiday! Made my partner a very happy man on his birthday. Thank you.
I recently stayed at the mirror cabin at OOD Hotels in Kirtlington, and it was an experience beyond words. The unique architecture of the mirror cabin seamlessly blends into the surrounding nature, offering a truly immersive and serene retreat. The cabin itself is impeccably designed, with every detail carefully thought out to enhance comfort and relaxation. One of the highlights was waking up to the breathtaking views right outside the cabin’s reflective walls, feeling completely at peace amidst the lush greenery. The hot tub was an absolute treat, providing a perfect spot to unwind while soaking in the tranquility of the forest. The outdoor area was another delight, where I enjoyed my meals surrounded by the beauty of nature, with the sound of birds and the rustling of leaves as my soundtrack. Exploring the area around the cabin was equally fascinating, with plenty of opportunities to discover local wildlife and insects in their natural habitat. The entire experience felt like a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, offering a rare chance to reconnect with nature in a luxurious setting. I would highly recommend this mirror cabin retreat to anyone looking for a unique and rejuvenating getaway. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
