The Swiss Cottage is a beautiful ‘cottage orné’ built in the early 1800s by Richard Butler, the first Earl of Glengall, to a design by the famous Regency architect John Nash. Its interior contains a graceful spiral staircase and some elegantly decorated rooms. The wallpaper in the Salon manufactured by the Dufour factory is one of the first commercially produced Parisian wallpapers. It is situated on an elevated site with access by stone steps.
This beautiful cottage is about 2 kilometres from my home it is part of a river walk which links The Swiss Cottage to Cahir Castle.It is a walk much appreciated by my dogs and I often go riding along the river bank
