Fitzgeralds Woodlands House Hotel & Spa is a family-run hotel on the outskirts of Adare village, County Limerick, Ireland. The property is about 42 km (26 mi) from Shannon Airport and 15 km (9.3 mi) from Limerick City.
The hotel began more than 40 years ago as a four-bedroom B&B run by Mary and Dick Fitzgerald and is still managed by the Fitzgerald family. It sits on 44 acres (17.8 ha) of private grounds and landscaped gardens just outside Adare village and is a founding member of Original Irish Hotels. Mary’s Organic Garden and an organic farm supply the kitchens, and a signposted 1.2 km (0.75 mi) walking trail crosses the grounds. The resort has its own well, an on-site wastewater treatment plant, a combined heat and power system, and EV charging for up to six vehicles. Food waste is composted for the garden and farm, which includes trees planted under a carbon offset program.
