Townhouse Doneraile Featured in The Irish Examiner!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news. Townhouse Doneraile has been featured in The Irish Examiner! The article, Secrets of Recreating a Five Star Festive Afternoon Tea at Home by Carol O’Callaghan, celebrates the art of hosting a luxurious afternoon tea, and we were delighted to share our insights alongside the team at the iconic Adare Manor.

In the feature, Myra Ryall, owner of Townhouse Café and Interiors, reveals her secrets for creating a show stopping festive tablescape and making your afternoon tea at home feel every bit as special as a five star experience.

“Dress the table as if you are creating the table of your dreams and fantasy,” says Myra. “Think masquerade balls and Vanity Fair. Start with the tablecloth you have been keeping for a special day, and add your favourite china, candles, and a touch of sparkle.”
Myra Ryall, owner of Townhouse Café and Interiors, layers her afternoon tea table with Christmas baubles, hand written menu scrolls, and uses books to give height to presenting her edibles.

Myra’s approach perfectly reflects what we love most about entertaining: creativity, warmth, and style without the stress. Her festive tips include reimagining Christmas leftovers into elegant bites, setting the mood with candlelight and music, and mixing vintage and modern pieces for a relaxed yet beautiful aesthetic.

It is an honour to see Townhouse Doneraile featured among Ireland’s finest, celebrating our passion for hospitality, interiors, and creating moments that feel truly special.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to The Irish Examiner for including us, and to our loyal customers who continue to inspire everything we do.
