"The lighthouse stood isolated on a jagged rock far from any other land."
In plain English: Isolated means being far away from other people and places, so you are all by yourself with no easy way to get help or company nearby.
"The house is located in an isolated valley far from any town."
Usage: Use isolated to describe something physically separated from others, such as an island or a remote house. Avoid confusing it with solitary when referring specifically to the state of being without companionship rather than physical distance.
