Country hotel managed to accommodate accordingly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lesotho

'country' is the definition.
(Lesotho is an example)

'hotel managed to accommodate accordingly' is the wordplay.
'managed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to accommodate' is an insertion indicator.
'accordingly' becomes 'so' ('so' can be a synonym of 'accordingly').
'hotel' is an anagram of 'letho'.
'letho' going around 'so' is 'LESOTHO'.

(Other definitions for lesotho that I've seen before include "He loots (anag) -- southern African kingdom" , "Kingdom that was formerly Basutoland" , "Kingdom surrounded by South Africa" , "African territory" , "Country entirely within South Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
