Small county hotels offer these (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beds

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'small county' is the first definition.
(abbreviation for Bedfordshire; 'small' indicates a short form)

'hotels offer these' is the second definition.
(hotels provide beds)

(Other definitions for beds that I've seen before include "wards have them" , "Dormitory items" , "Hospital places" , "Shortened county" , "Garden plots -- English country (abbr)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
