guest house
Separate visitor quarters
A guest house is a small separate building on a property where visitors can stay, typically offering more privacy than a room in the main house: They put us up in the guest house out back.
The term also applies to small inns or bed-and-breakfasts, especially in British usage.
Sometimes spelled as one word: guesthouse.
