    This place is not a place for booking. We paid 457 Euros for this house for two days. It definitely does not deserve this money. If a few simple things were improved, it could be a good hotel: The beds are uncomfortable. There was very little dishwashing detergent. There was no shampoo or shower gel. There was very little food. The sink is still clogged, it works very slowly. The seats in the living area are bad. My advice to the landlord is, if you take your job seriously, please take these recommendations into consideration. or quit this job.

    Nothing.

    We were attending NAC in Blanchardstown it was exceptionally early mornings and we decided to stay one night. The lodge is only 15 minutes away and I like the fact that you can get your breakfast as early as you like. Even though there is an air fryer etc... we used Just Eat that delivered. Have told our Wexford swim club about Delphi Lodge and they will be staying during the NAC galas.

    There was a sofa bed in the living area which needs throwing out! It was so uncomfortable to sit on. The seating cushions were too small which meant the bed frame wasn’t covered. When you sat down you were sitting on the frame. The single beds were spring beds which were excruciating to sleep on. Might be ok for children but unbearable for adults. There was no body wash/shampoo/conditioner supplied. There was nowhere to place your suitcases other than the floor. The water cut out on at least 6/7 times over our two nights making it difficult when you’re in the shower and it runs out of water! We were also extremely shocked to find that we were staying in the grounds of a Self Storage facility. There certainly wasn’t any reference to that in the listing. Overall I would not recommend it especially for the price they charge.

    We came back from our evening to no water in the bathroom and kitchen. However I texted the owner first thing in the morning and they had a plumber out within 2 hours.

    Where do I start! 1. Arrived at the property to find it was occupied by other people. 2. Spoke to the host who asked the other party to move, the other party were then very rude to myself and my family because they had to move. 3. The host had nobody on site to clean the property before we occupied it (we were not going to stay there without it being cleaned again due to it being occupied by others). 4. The host offered an alternative, it looked like a poorly fitted out shed, I declined as my family did not want to stay there. 5. Asked for a refund and was declined, it should gave been an immediate refund, the cottage was already occupied by others, this was the bottom line. 6. Had to chase booking.com for a refund was also declined, apparently because the host offered me an alternative no matter how bad the "alternative" was! 7. Had to go through a process with my bank to secure a refund. All in all, I would not recommend this place at all.

    When booking confirmed we got email said 1 room, we had booked 2, we took screenshot and whatsapped number on email, even though the whataspp was opened immediately the person couldn't be bothered to answer, 24 hrs later we had to ring to confirm, this was SHOCKING as we HAD to have 2 rooms which we had but this person couldn't be bothered to reply. There was no place to hang coats even though there was a wall between the entrance door and the sitting room to hang such a coat rack, so we had 4 people coats every where , you couldnt make this up, this would cost about 20 euro to do. The tap in the kitchen sink was broke and leaked water everywhere so technically we could have been blamed even though we had nothing to do with it. There was no mat in the shower how these people havent been sued i dont know because someone is going to break their neck in it. There was no glass in the bathroom sink to use to wash mouth with water and the type of taps there you couldn't drink from them. After 16 European cities and 2 trips to America first time we had to buy toilet paper.

    Apartment, no breakfast

    Double bed wasn't very comfortable . Also, other than a bed and two lockers,there was no place to hang your clothes in double room,even a few hooks or a stand would suffice. We had to live out of suitcase

    It was literally two containers merged into one with a few furniture added. The beds were uncomfortable and the owners never replied to any messages.

    It was quiet.

    Facilities were very basic. The 'cottage' is actually a converted shipping container situated in a builder's yard. There was a very bright security light which came on randomly through the night, shining into the bedroom - no curtains on window, just a plain blind.

    Not a lot to be honest

    The TV wouldn't display video on the Saturday morning but we just put on a radio channel so it wasn't much of an issue and it was working that evening.

    Initially taken aback at the "cottage" but the accommodation was cosy, clean and the beds especially comfortable. For us the location was superb as we were visiting Emerald Park and it is only 11 minutes away. Access to shops and takeaways in Ashbourne is only 5 minutes away and shopping and additional dining are available in Blacjhardstown just 14 minutes in the other direction (we wanted to nip in for Nados after the park).

    It was very hard to find Delphi Cottages. The big sign at the entrance is for a self storage place and the cottage sign was small and dark. We had to ask a stranger, who called the main office to tell us how to get there.

    This place was behind a storage area which was not mentioned before. It was warn out over the years. Dirty . There was pee in the toilet when we arrived. Kitchen was dirty, floors had grit on them. Spikers everywhere. Paint was chipped on walls and above moldings. This place was the worst of all I had rented. WE DID NOT STAY. It was CREEPY! WE could wipe the stove with our fingers and remove stains. If that is painted every six months they need to repair patches in the walls and finger prints on the walls. This place is worn out and you need to tell people is is located behind storage garages.
