remote hamlet
Distant tiny settlement
A remote hamlet is a very small settlement far from cities or major roads.
Hamlet suggests a cluster of houses too small to be called a village; remote emphasizes isolation and difficulty of access.
The phrase evokes rural life at its most withdrawn: They retired to a remote hamlet in the Scottish Highlands.
