Morphology
The meaning 'a person who lives in a cottage' is directly and transparently compositional from 'cottage' (small house) + 'dweller' (resident); the compound pattern with '-dweller' marking an inhabitant is productive and predictable in English. This is a common, cross-linguistically familiar pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Cottage dweller gives a simple picture: a small, cozy house in the countryside, a cottage, and the person who lives there, a dweller. So the phrase means 'a person who lives in a cottage' and often suggests a quiet, country life.
