Words to Describe a Place

attractively old-fashioned and charming

small, warm, and comfortable

peaceful and picturesque; like a perfect scene

“an idyllic cove no map seemed to know”

delightfully pleasant and appealing

calm, still, and untroubled

strikingly pretty, like a painting

grand, dignified, and awe-inspiring

spreading out widely and irregularly

grand and impressive in a way that commands respect

richly luxurious and lavish

“an opulent hall dripping with gilt”

spacious and splendid, like a palace

massive and impressively enduring

bleak and empty; nothing grows

abandoned and fallen into ruin

lonely and pitifully sad in feeling

run-down and decayed through neglect

cold, bare, and cheerless

remote, desolate, and dismal
