On Saturday I went to a family wedding and stayed in a Bed and Breakfast Hotel.
My Welsh family arrived before me and in the WhatsApp group I asked
"What's the hotel like?".
The answers were:
"Very quirky" "A bit quirky" "Interesting and quirky" "Quirky and a bit creepy!"
"Quirky" is a really useful word.
There are various definitions on Google:
- unusual in an attractive and interesting way (Cambridge Dictionary)
- unusual in especially an interesting or appealing way (Merriem-Webster)
- a more polite and positive way of saying 'abnormal, unique, strange, out of the ordinary.' (Reddit)
- something that has or is full of quirks, which are odd or unusual qualities. (Oxford Dictionary)
- odd or unpredictable in appearance, character, or behavior. (Collins Dictionary)
Synonyms: bizarre, strange, weird, peculiar, eccentric, wacky
This hotel was certainly full of quirks.
It was also a bit CREEPY. ['It gave me the creeps']
Meaning:
causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease.
e.g. "the creepy feelings one often gets in a strange house"
