So we've booked a cottage near my SiL to visit & see niece +
nephew. Found out MiL and FiL are coming for the weekend and apparently staying in our cottage with us. SiL has not asked us if that's ok. AIBU to think that given Covid and given hubby not yet vaccinated it would have been nice of my SiL to check we were happy with this set up?!

Say no. if not, make them contribute.

Could you not tell a bot of a fib and claim that owners of cottage are stating only one household at a time?

Who on earth does SIL think she is, arranging this without asking you first? Even if there wasn't covid to worry about this would really piss me off

Would it make you feel better if everyone uses regular lateral flow tests? I know there accuracy isn't as good as a pcr test but could you suggest this in the week leading up to the trip and whilst you're there?

They are available in many places now.

Incredibly rude of her to invite them to stay with you. But I don't get the Covid angst. Presumably they're vaccinated?

We're allowed to share accommodation with people now, stay over with friends and family etc. I've already done so and with non-vaccinated people who invited me.

So yep, I'd be furious but not anxious.

Has anyone actually consulted with the owners of the cottage OP? We own a cottage which we let to holiday makers, and quite frankly, if more people turn up than are on the booking, we would turn the whole group away, because we would feel that you were being sneaky and wonder what other stunts you might try and pull. So if you decide that you're prepared to go along with this, then your first move should be to contact the owner to see if they're happy about it, otherwise you could be putting your own accommodation at risk.
