Rest on Sokoliny farm very much. We went with my daughter for a week, as a result we spent 14 days on the farm, we didn’t want to leave. They lived in an authentic hut - it keeps warm at night, cool during the day. In the hut - ancient towels, paintings by folk artists, a collection of Easter eggs.

Rest on Sokoliny farm very much. We went with my daughter for a week, as a result we spent 14 days on the farm, we didn’t want to leave.
They lived in an authentic hut - it keeps warm at night, cool during the day. In the hut - ancient towels, paintings by folk artists, a collection of Easter eggs. There is a refrigerator and an electric kettle. Every day fresh water was brought to us from the well - the water drives salts well and is tasty in itself.
The staff is friendly, attentive.
There are houses on the farm with all conveniences - a toilet, a hot shower, but we chose a more budget option - with a summer shower - and did not regret it. The water in the shower heats up during the day - like fresh milk.
We have considerable experience in eco-tourism behind us, but perhaps nowhere else was there such delicious food as in Sokoliny Farm. We tried everything on the menu in two weeks. Most of all I liked kulish, Cossack potatoes (cooked on the stove, in a cauldron, the potatoes are baked until golden crisp, served with garlic watering, this is an old Cossack recipe 18 river), pancakes with poppy seeds and pork ribs. Fried crucians freshly caught from Smosh are something! A must try is honey wine. The strength is only 12 degrees, not cloying, and after that the head does not hurt. Delicious!
The farm has its own beach, boats and catamarans. The water in Smosh is iodine and very clean.
What we liked: for the owners, the farm is not only a business. Several huts that could be occupied by tourists have been given over to museums. There is a historical and ethnographic museum - the collection is impressive. The history of the region from Trypillia times to the present day. Folk icon, clothing, dishes, archaeological artifacts. Another museum is dedicated to the Cossacks and countrymen who fought in the Ukrainian People's Army.
I liked that the farm truly honors and revives Cossack traditions, has its own equestrian theater. You can ride horses - on your own or with an instructor.
Of the attractions nearby - Kachanivka, the Tarnovsky Palace, where Taras Shevchenko stayed three times. Walk for about 20 minutes. In Kachanovka you can order a sightseeing tour, but we still stocked up with guidebooks in Kyiv and did fine without guides.
Summary. If you are looking for relaxation not only for the body, but also for the soul, - Sokoliny Farm is just such a place.

I used to visit Sokoliny Khutor with colleagues from my previous job, then I came with my family. In June 2016, I decided to hold Teambuilding for new colleagues from Kyiv. As before, everything was great. Hospitality is beyond praise, food and drinks are homemade, very tasty. Lots of entertainment: a blacksmith lesson, horseback riding, football, coin making, etc.

Lots of entertainment: a blacksmith lesson, horseback riding, football, coin making, etc. Near the lake, boats. A great place to relax from the bustle of the city. And what a clear sky! There are not so many stars in Kyiv, it is simply mesmerizing. Well, Kachanovka is nearby, it is interesting to walk around the estate. Sometimes I read dissatisfied reviews... I don’t know. For 7 years I have been there 4 times and always left satisfied. Now there is even WiFi in the restaurant. Nikolai is a very passionate person and really tries to do everything to make you like Sokoliny Farm.

Was in this hotel last weekend. To be honest, I really did not want to go there after reading the reviews here. But friends have already booked us a house, and we decided to go. First, about the road: from Kyiv it is better to go through Nizhyn, although it is 30 km longer, but it is faster, and the car will be safer. About the complex itself: we were greeted very friendly, and Nikolai (the Owner) himself led us to the house, telling us what and where they have. The first thing that struck me was the cleanliness: in the house of the beginning of the last century it was clean, there were replaceable slippers, towels, etc. When it's hot outside +30, in the house +20-22, it's cool and cozy. After the road decided to eat. In the local tavern (where there is hay and freshly cut grass on the floor! ) We were offered freshly caught fried fish, borscht with pampushkas, homemade uzvar, as well as Cossack potatoes. Everything was very tasty, especially the potatoes, which were baked in the oven, and which smelled of wood fire! During these two days we managed to ride a boat and swim in the river, ride horses, and also watch a horse show. But the coolest thing was the local sauna! The sauna was just super - and natural heat without the admixture of burning gas or overdried electrics, as well as an experienced bath attendant who whipped with a whisk. We returned to Kyiv with the best impressions, full of charge and vivacity.
I recommend it to everyone, but be careful - there are potholes on the roads near the city of Ichnya.

Pass the rest on this farm on the tenth road, if you do not want to be thrown like suckers who will silently pay for their invented services. Accommodation looks beautiful only in the photos of the site. In fact, no convenience and comfort, but the prices are higher than in Europe. Overnight in these exotic barracks costs at least 150 UAH.

Accommodation looks beautiful only in the photos of the site. In fact, no convenience and comfort, but the prices are higher than in Europe. Overnight in these exotic barracks costs at least 150 UAH. from man. Bed of dubious freshness, no refrigerator, no TV, no kettle. There are no tables or benches in the yard. The restaurant is the only one with this set of services to claim European prices. In Kyiv, it is cheaper to dine in the restaurants of the Kozyrna Mapa or Svitova Mapa chains than in this deaf hamlet. If someone wants a very expensive exotic without comfort, then here you get it in full.
Although, near the complex "Kachanivka", where accommodation with amenities in the palace costs 50-60 UAH / person.
So I do not recommend enriching local "businessmen" who do not seek to create better comfort and new interesting programs for people.

Four families with children came to them for lunch. Everything was good, they smiled at us, we made an order. Very much asked for everything fresh because of the children. The first thing they brought us was borsch, the meat did not even lie next to it (21 UAH per serving), the taste is absent, ie either cooked at least a couple of days ago, or was frozen.

The first thing they brought us was borsch, the meat did not even lie next to it (21 UAH per serving), the taste is absent, ie either cooked at least a couple of days ago, or was frozen. asked for sour cream, brought three saltines with sour cream in each no more than three teaspoons - it's 12 servings! ! ! ! ! Cossack potatoes were promised from the oven, and actually boiled potatoes in a uniform were then peeled and fried in oil on top of grated garlic, the taste is appropriate (38 UAH). cheesecakes said special without flour, said if we order to share the recipe, but really without flour, and the taste of starch, we felt without disclosing the recipe. there were more nuances, but I will not tire you. the waiter still has a bad memory, which constantly did not deliver portions. the funniest began at the time of calculation. we forgot to tell that the entrance to them costs 5 UAH.
and so far we have had lunch the price of some dishes has gone up. for example, draniki in the menu 15 UAH really 19 UAH. I say that the error in the account proves to me that everything is correct, I ask the menu, the menu can not find a hint that we stole, rude. found the menu. they say that potatoes are more expensive on the market today))))). I paid the bill for the menu, rude to the last.

Two years ago, it was much better! I read the reviews, I thought they were lying, I was convinced from my bitter experience. I will not name all the negativity, I will give a significant event. They brought us "pampushki" with which you can hammer in nails, they were so callous. They couldn't even be cut with a knife.

Z. Y. Nikolai, if you are reading this, draw your conclusions, "Falcon Farm" is a good idea, but the attitude towards people (to ordinary Ukrainians) is clearly lame.
ZY. ZY. for those who are thinking of going there - I personally won’t go there a second time, but for people who read the review and go - you were warned!

Rest in Falcon Farm is not a beach where you go to be frankly too lazy. This is rest for the soul. Nature, history, future are harmoniously intertwined here. I really want my children to carry in their hearts the same love as the owners of the farm for their homeland. There is so much to learn here for us adults too.

It was May 29.2010. The nature is very beautiful, the huts too. Service at the level. But the director of the base is a clear psycho. During the discussion on tel. calling the amount for the house 520 UAH. that we already respected dear. When calculating this amount somehow increased to UAH 1.500. , which in principle is unrealistic even for houses near Kiev, and even more so at the same level as on the farm.

Of course, we paid UAH 500. , after which we listened to all possible curses in our direction. I do not even know what to advise: it is possible to take a written confirmation of the price from the owner. Because the staff when eating at check-in about the price of houses, nothing at all could not answer. Apparently the price fluctuates depending on mood of Mr. Nikolay Nikolaevich. I have never written reviews, I travel often, but I could not resist such accents and critical points of schizophrenia, because the mood of the beautiful territorial place was clearly spoiled.

Recently, in December 2009, I was lucky enough to visit this amazing place. Falcon Farm left an indelible impression on my soul. As if with the help of a "time machine", I got into the past, plunged into the entertaining history of my Motherland. How beautiful is my Earth with the riches of nature, the greatness of culture, traditions. In Falcon Farm, I caught the true spirit of the era of Ukrainian culture. I felt warmth and comfort there, a harmonious connection with nature and accepted the concept of nationalism for myself, in the best sense of the word. Upon arrival home in Kyiv, I rethought my spiritual values, life priorities, thought about the spiritual education of my children.
The owner of this complex deserves special respect. How harmoniously he is attached to this place. With what amazing love he talks about his native village and its inhabitants! Nikolai is a fascinating storyteller, an interesting conversationalist and a very hospitable host.
Now about rest and food:
The prices are not low, but the rest is at a very high spiritual level. To all those who want to go there for entertainment and drinking, I want to warn you right away: “You will not be comfortable there! ”. That atmosphere is conducive to rest of a completely different plan. Although mead and bison are incomparable with any elite French wines. I didn’t mean that you can’t have fun, drink and relax there. All these pleasures of life are very feasible there, but it’s not worth going there just for the sake of drinking, grub and “five-star” relaxation. It is worth going there to relax for people who honor and respect Ukrainian cultural traditions and want to plunge into them. I personally got more than what I expected!

Good afternoon, dear management and service staff of the tourist complex "Falcon Farm"!
We heard a lot about your complex, but still decided to visit it in September 2009. We booked seats in advance by phone when we arrived - it turned out that there were no seats. After we said that there was a preliminary reservation, Mr. Nikolai agreed to offer us a 9-bed house at a price of 150 UAH per person per night. The house turned out to be, to put it mildly, miserable. The house itself was built in the 60s and 70s, the rural flavor in the 17th-20th centuries and the very life of the Ukrainian people could not be felt. The bed is dirty, obviously not changed since visiting so to speak, this "9-bed room" of previous tourists, the house itself is very damp, the windows do not open for ventilation, There is no lighting in the toilet (although the light is on). We decided to drink a lot of vodka and stay, as there was no choice.
The beds leave much to be desired (apparently assembled from different places, hastily repaired, creaking and terribly uncomfortable. ) They felt all the charm of rural life when they heard the rustle of a mouse under the bed in the morning and saw a gorgeous hole in the floor. There are plenty of chemicals in the Ukrainian market to control rodents - take note.
I really enjoyed visiting the bath - perhaps the only place on the farm, which left the most positive emotions and pleasant sensations. I also liked the dinner in the pub: a beautiful hut, the food is excellent, but as for everything else…. The concept of "menu" is absent in general, how much is one serving of potatoes or meat, we never found out. According to preliminary estimates, they amounted to UAH 785 for five people without alcohol.
And here the most interesting thing: the waitress Larissa explains to us that we ordered a lot of food, and she would advise us to give up a few servings. We listened to her advice and refused, respectively, hoping that the preliminary amount will decrease… It's time for our dinner. The food was really plentiful and very tasty. They ate, drank; and asked for a bill. The bill came as a shock: on a piece of paper was painted: dinner - 157 UAH x5 = 785 UAH; alcohol (1 liter of wine and 0.5 vodka) - 150 UAH; tea with honey and a liter of compote - 113 UAH; entrance to the territory - 5x6 = 30 UAH, parking 15 UAH. Total - 1093 UAH. SHOCK! ! ! ! ! What does parking and entrance have to do with dinner at the pub? ! ! This time. And the second, when in the morning we paid for the night and agreed where you can leave the car for the night, and did not hear a word from Mr. Nicholas about the above additional payments. And why the preliminary amount has not decreased? !!
Just ordered tea, brought tea without sugar, but with honey, including honey - 10 UAH? ! ! (2 tbsp. Spoons). Such impudence and stupidity of waiters have not yet met. Accordingly, we began to resent and call the owner. The owner, not particularly understanding, decided that we are asking for a discount, and allowed to pay only 1000 UAH. Stupid Larisa was left without tips, although it is unknown what account she will show the owner. Conclusion - very expensive, the prices do not justify themselves and the staff leaves much to be desired …… We decided for the future, if you go to those places on excursions, it is better to stay in nearby towns in hotels, at least there is water and toilet light; and the prices are more reasonable.
