Cottage House is a country house in the townland of Clonmoyle East, situated 3.1 km (1.9 mi) south-east of Aghabullogue village and 4.4 km (2.7 mi) north of Coachford village. The house and demesne were dominant features in the rural landscape of Ireland, throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Location often reflected the distribution of better land, and this is evidenced in mid-Cork, where many of these houses were situated along the valley of the River Lee and its tributaries. Today it remains a private residence, and is not accessible to the public.
