One offering accommodation in small house with phone? That is right (8)
I believe the answer is:
hotelier
'one offering accommodation' is the definition.
'small house with phone? that is right' is the wordplay.
'small house' becomes 'ho'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'phone?' becomes 'tel'.
'that is' becomes 'ie' ('i.e.' can be a synonym of 'that is').
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'ho'+'tel'+'ie'+'r'='HOTELIER'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for hotelier that I've seen before include "Owner of the Savoy, say" , "Inn-keeper" , "Fawlty, perhaps" , "Conrad Hilton, e.g." , "He offers rooms" .)
