Ah, it's a place that Lily takes me to when she's looking after my dreams and I have nightmares. I don't know if it is a memory for her, or something created on a whim...

I am inclined towards the latter - the first time she used it was when I dreamed of... flowers, growing inside me. I imagine she wanted to take me somewhere that would be removed from such imagery, and a cottage in winter seemed to be the thing. A place of safety and comfort.
