I need to setup a access point that must connect to my modem, all wirelessly.

So the people in my cottage need to connect to the access point and the access point needs to send the data to my modem to get the internet.

How do I do it
 
Is your ADSL modem a standalone non-wireless device, or are you using an ADSL modem/router combo?
How far is the cottage from the main house?
A simple network will require a wireless router in your home and possibly one in the cottage. If the cottage is close enough to your house, the people will be able to connect directly to your wireless device. If too far, you will need a separate device in the cottage, and some way to boost the signal.
 
Ask if your users have a pc/laptop that have wireless(WiFi).
Also you'll need a router as Quasimodo said, you should read about the configuration of the network coz
you need to monitor the users, and prevent other people "stealing" your bandwidth.
