Connotation vs denotation.
technically no real difference, but your mind conjures up certain ideas

Not a big difference. Cottage often refers to a get-away, perhaps by a lake. Cottages would not be found in cities, ordinarily. Both cottages and bungalows are usually modestly sized and single story though either could have a small loft area. The names exude a certain charm and developers have co-opted the terms which sound lots more interesting than "house."

In Chicago a bungalow is a type of home. Usually 4 or 5 stairs leading to the front door, long and narrow in it's style. Many are converted to two flats.

A bungalow usually has one or two rooms upstairs, like a glorified attic space, cottages do not usually have a second story at all.

Both are pretty archaic words to define a small dwelling,,,often used in describing a vacation home.
Neither is right or wrong.
