Does your structure have large/wide gables?  That could  
probably act as a catchall for the wind and send your cottage  
to the land of Oz.  But the nearby trees and ground-level  
changes around you probably break/toss/twist the power of the  
winds around a bit to lessen a direct impact?

I live in a small valley.  The winds can have a significant  
build-up effect if they want to. Some of the strongest storm  
winds have been in the summer with driving rains.  The  
aforementioned 10ft wide glass door sustained quite a few of  
those over the years.  But nothing like that has happened in  
over 10yrs now.
