snuggery

Small comfortable room

A snuggery is a small, cozy room or space where one can retreat for comfort and privacy—a personal refuge from the larger household.

The word is British and somewhat old-fashioned: He retired to his snuggery with a book and a glass of port.

It suggests warmth, intimacy, and deliberate seclusion.
