Hi Susan, welcome to OSM and thanks for the edit. It looks like this is a holiday cottage, is that correct? If so it could probably be tagged as tourism=chalet? See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dchalet

Definitely not a chalet! Stone built property dating back to the 1790's

In the UK, a chalet tends to be on a holiday park and is like a caravan, but made of wood. So I don't think that the definition is appropriate. It's not how the word is used in the UK.

Hi Susan, Unfortunately someone decided that tourism=chalet should mean holiday cottages too (probably by some daft extrapolation from the Swiss Alps, where chalets are often large buildings with several separate apartments). Often tags are invented by non-native English speakers or by people who dont check on British usage which is the agreed standard fr tags.
So I agree with you, but the current tagging is tourism=chalet & then it shows up as a tourist feature. You could always add chalet=holiday_cottage which gives the chance to separate them out from ones in Butlins etc. Jerry

Ok, but I don't know how to add a tag?

In the ID editor you can either scroll down until you see a box labelled add field. This will autocomplete with widely used values (such as tourism) and then give you a pick list. For unusual values (e.g., chalet=holiday_cottage) you have to scroll even further down to an area labelled "All tags" which shows the 'raw' values of the tags, clicking on the plus button gives a new row. Put the "chalet" in the left side and "holiday_cottage" on the right side. It will be understood that the chalet on the lefthand side is a clarification of the tourism=chalet pair. HTH
