Swiss Cottage

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Swiss Cottage

Self-consciously rustic thatched cottage (cottage ornée) near Cahir, County Tipperary, Republic of Ireland. It was built in 1810 for Richard Butler, 12th Lord Cahir, probably by the English architect John Nash (1752–1835). Unlike other similar buildings of this size, which were used by the nobility as fishing or shooting lodges or as tea houses, Swiss Cottage was built for Lord and Lady Cahir to live in when they were in Ireland. It was restored in the late 1980s by the Port Royal Foundation of New York, and the interior contains one of the few examples of coloured scenic wallpaper in Ireland.

A fanciful little wooden building, imitating the form of a Swiss cottage, was placed so as to command the prospect.
I Say No by Collins, Wilkie View in context
On the slope was a dilapidated Swiss cottage, surrounded by a veranda on slender wooden pillars, about which clung a few tendrils of withered creeper, their stray ends still swinging from the recent wind, now momentarily hushed as if listening for the coming of the rain.
