What does "snug" mean in Edinburgh- Realtor-Speak?

Solution 1:

Here is an advertisement for a three bedroom property a few miles from the village in which I live in Worcestershire, UK. The link may not survive if the property is sold, so here are the details :

large refitted kitchen breakfast room. Opening onto a garden room/snug with log burner and sliding doors to the garden.

The room contains a sofa and a wood burning stove.

I would say it is what Americans would call a 'den'. It is informal, cosy and garden-centred. But there is no sign of a wetbar.

From this and other real estate adverts in the UK, it seems that the modern estate agent's idea of 'snug' has nothing to do with pub snugs - they just like the word and the concept of cosiness and relaxation.

Solution 2:

England. A snug is often a bonus area - either as part of a big kitchen, where you have enough space for a cosy little seating area (typically with a couple of armchairs or a sofa, maybe a woodburner) - away from your eating area. Sometimes a snug can be a separate liitle reception room with a similar set up as above. In other words - definitely a cosy space.
