rural cottages

Rustic small homes

Rural cottages are small houses in the countryside, typically simple in construction and traditionally associated with agricultural workers or village life.

The phrase often carries romantic connotations of rustic charm and pastoral simplicity: They spent summers in a rural cottage in the Cotswolds.

In real estate and tourism, rural cottages are marketed as retreats from urban life.
