Oxfordshire hotel, Fallowfields in Kingston Bagpuize is a beautiful country house (once home to Begum Aga Khan), dating back over 300 years and now offering stunning accommodation in the tranquil Vale of the White Horse - only 15 minutes from the historic and beautiful Oxford City.
Set in 12 acres of mature trees and magnificent gardens, the hotel offers an exquisite retreat. You can stretch your legs around our beautiful Oxfordshire grounds, absorbing the special ambience that comes with over 300 years of peaceful pastoral history - as one guest said:
"This house smiles at you".

There are ten highly individual bedrooms to accommodate you, your family and friends - elegant, comfortable and beautifully appointed - they are as warm as your welcome. Our four-poster and luxurious king-sized beds (splittable) should afford you a restful sleep. All ten rooms have wonderful power showers and some have spa baths.

Fine food is prepared for you by Head Chef, Adam Abbott, and our prolific, near-organic kitchen garden. From herbs such as Lovage or Sorrel, to daily-picked vegetables that reawaken your tastebuds, you will dine elegantly in our candlelit dining room. Our food is imaginatively styled and presented as well as tasting fantastic -- and it is good for you. Fallowfields restaurant was recently given three 'dining awards' by the RAC and a gourmet guide described us as "one of the best hotel restaurants in the County".

In addition to our hospitality we offer that rarest of assets - tranquillity. We also maintain a no-smoking policy in all our bedrooms as well as in the dining room, and in our other public rooms we ask that smokers defer to the wishes of all present.

After you have made your acquaintance of the hotel, your accommodation and the garden, we are sure you will feel instantly at home. With the delightful informality of a family house, Fallowfields will be your home away from home, where attention to detail and personal service makes every single visit more memorable than the last.Fallowfields Country House Hotel is set in twelve magnificent acres of superb gardens, lawns, meadows and an orchard. It provides a restful backdrop against which you can take tea or in which you can wander at peace with the world.

We have ten beautiful hawks, three Harrises, a Red Tail and a Cooper's, at various stages of their flying training, who have been providing a fascinating insight for our guests into this ancient practice.

Throughout the day, they sit contentedly on our lawn, by their very presence keeping rabbit and pigeon out of our two acre kitchen garden and orchards. If this isn't green pest control .....

They are flown at various times of the day, often in the early evening as our guest's arrive and are taking a drink on the terrace whilst preparing themselves for dinner. Observe their innate intelligence as well as their obviously strong relationship with their handler.

For many, watching these magnificent raptors and perhaps a few minutes talk with James our falconer, Anthony, the owner, or Alexi his early teenage daughter, is enough. For many others, the opportunity to fly a hawk for themselves is an immensely rewarding experience and perhaps the opportunity of a life time.

A half hour's flying lesson is £30.00. An hour £45.00. You will be closer to one of nature's most beautiful creatures than you ever thought possible. You will feel the power of her talons through your falconer's glove. You will experience the thrill of launching her from your gloved fist. If you feel confident, you will also experience the immense high as she loops silently toward you, inches from the ground, and then at the last minute soars to your fist to take the proffered titbit.
