The scene in this Mason image looks more like one from an African or Asian retreat during the British Empire than in Ireland? A beautiful lodge, cottages nearby and smoke rising from the chimney to show that the servants are awake and getting the breakfast ready - magic!
Thanks to sharon.corbet for identifying this (annoyingly quickly :) ) as Glen Helen Gardens in the Isle of Man. (Or should it be *on* the Isle of Man....?)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] I hate that! We go to all the trouble of putting up a puzzle with an unknown location and quick as a shot the Lemur or Sharon burst out bubble! Very frustrating;-)

The glen was created in the 1860s by a consortium of Manx businessmen interested in arboriculture. They laid its paths, carried out extensive planting of trees and ornamental shrubs, constructed river bridges and opened the place to the public in 1867.

Some information on the buildings in Glen Helen is given in this blogpost. The original family home which was sometimes called the Swiss Cottage was incorporated into the hotel (on the left) which stood on the area currently used as a car park. The hotel was demolished in the late 1960's. The Swiss Chalet (centre right) was a cafe. It burned down in 1983 and was replaced on the same site by the the present restaurant. The Glen Helen Inn was built on what appears to be a croquet lawn in front of the old hotel.
