As we got ready for bed on our first night at The Woodlands my 4 year old daughter developed a pain in her stomach, it persisted so we played it safe and my wife took her to a nearby clinic. Long story short my daughter ended up in Limerick University Hospital for 2 nights and was released with a clean bill of health. The reason I tell you this is because, when I requested a taxi at reception to go releave my wife from the second night's stay in hospital, the receptionist asked me was everything OK, given my destination. When I explained our situation the receptionist disappeared for a few minutes and re-emerge with Mary Fitzgerald, the owner of the hotel. Mary was holding a bag with several sandwiches, crisps, cans of coke, bottles of water and chocolate chip cookies. She expressed genuine concern for my daughter and insisted on dropping me and my older daughter to the hospital herself. She even made a detour to her son's to make sure my daughter had a booster seat. On the drive to the hospital Mary helped put my mind at easy by telling me the pediatric depart in Limerick hospital is excellent. Thankfully our stay was for 3 nights and on the 3rd night, after a wonderful meal in the restaurant, Mary check in with us and was delighted to see my daughter had been released. The Woodlands is a fantastic hotel. The restaurant, pet farm, fairy trail Spa etc. But it's Mary and all the staff there that make it a very special place. We'll never be able to thank them enough for their hospitality and kindness.
