Morphology
The adjective phrase is directly compositional: it conjoins 'cozy' (warm, comfortable) with a friend-related adjective to yield a combined sense of warm, comfortable and friendly. Although 'friendsome' is non-standard, its meaning is easily inferable from the root 'friend' plus a common adjectival pattern and the coordinating 'and', so a B1 learner who knows the parts could grasp the phrase.
Etymology
Cozy and friendsome may come from old home descriptions where cozy meant a small, warm room and friendsome meant a place where friends feel welcome. So it now means a place that feels 'warm', 'comfortable', and 'friendly'.
