Staraya Mel'nica - Solnechnoye

The advantage of this place is its location. The houses are old, very battered by time and visitors. For my taste it’s a little dirty, the lighting in the houses is also so-so, I would like more light on the gray winter evenings of St. Petersburg. It was cold in the house, and there was a fee for firewood; in the evening we burned 1/3 of the rental price. It's okay to visit once, but I wouldn't go a second time. Rooms: 3

We have a tradition: every year on my birthday we go to the Old Mill!!!! for 7 years of trips, every year I compare what has become better or worse. We rented cottage 8 and visited at the end of January 2024. Pros: 1 The guys who clean the area, take out the trash, bring firewood are polite, cleanly dressed, in uniform, with walkie talkies, any issues are resolved in 5 minutes 2 the road to the complex is cleared in both lanes, easy to drive 3 security is at the highest level, with such guys it’s not scary 4 the territory is well groomed, pine trees, fir trees, silence, lighting, every year we find ourselves in a fairy tale. 5 swimming pool with warm water, cleanliness, comfort and safety. 6 breakfast, guys, it’s just European, there’s everything you want to eat delicious, fresh. The cooks and waiters check the contents of the dishes every 3 5 minutes and report them immediately. The waiters are cleaning, polite, smiling 7 Reception girls are polite, always ready to help I will list the disadvantages of this year below. I think this was the last year we came to you. A story like 5 minutes can ruin the impression of 5 days... Minuses: 1 After checking the cottage we were with Chihuahua animals Olga in charge of cleaning the cottages came out and in front of my guests who came here from Tambov, said that the small towel in the cottage had turned yellow why?? My guests are standing there, my sister and I, like a child, make excuses and say that I don’t understand, but I will pay for it... I haven’t experienced such shame since childhood Disadvantages that I would not have remembered or written about, we are not the people who find fault with little things : 2 yellow bath on the 2nd floor 3 under the bed of the 2nd floor of the 8th cottage, after other residents: dried pasta and plastic bottles 4 garbage was taken out from the cottage only when called. 5 do not open a single window, ventilate using the door. On the day of departure we were told that they could unblock us by calling. 6 the fireplace works strangely, after a couple of hours of operation, there is a smell of burning throughout the house. 7 dishes: 4 plates, 3 mugs, a saucepan, a frying pan, several spoons for 5 people. 8 there are no sockets, if you want to charge your phones, turn off the microwave, kettle, TV. Ps.: the most offensive thing is that my animals paid 1000 rubles per day for accommodation, we left the cottage in perfect order, even wiped the floors, left tea, took off the towel, made the beds... But Olga came and deciding that in front of her people younger than her told about the yellow towel, about the dog that no one told her about, turned around, went into her utility room slamming the door... 5 days, guys, of happiness, and 5 minutes of humiliation... A person can cross out everything with one phrase , who does not know how this business was built, but decided that he could manage clients as well as subordinates. It's a pity that we ran into him there, with you. Prosperity

The decor is charming, there was no borscht, but the dishes were delicious.

"4 stars on Yandex? Don't make me laugh. Look at a couple of photos, and it’s hard to see how this deserves 4 stars. Maybe we should help the management with the cleaning."

Everything was just great. The wedding went just great! There are so many emotions that I definitely want to leave reviews in order to somehow express my gratitude. The food was very tasty, many guests praised the barbecue, salads and snacks. The gazebo itself is located in such a way that we did not hear anyone else and nothing else interfered with our holiday. I really liked the work of the banquet manager Olga, she helped us from the very beginning on many issues of organizing a banquet, which was very nice. The location itself made us very happy, it was very close to the bay, which is a maximum of 10 minutes on foot, and the forest is all around, which is very nice. We also received a honeymoon suite for one night as a gift, which was also nice. It’s a pity that we didn’t book rooms for guests in advance, when we came to our senses, there were no free rooms left, and it was very pleasant and comfortable to spend the night in the mill Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Kid-friendly, Great value
