small village
Rural cluster homes
A small village is a rural settlement with few inhabitants—typically smaller than what "village" alone suggests.
The phrase emphasizes limited population and modest size: We passed through a small village on the way to the coast.
It often evokes remoteness, tight-knit community, or lack of modern amenities.
