Home said to be a place of refreshment (3)
I believe the answer is:
inn
'be a place of refreshment' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'home said' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'in' is a homophone of 'INN'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "European river" , "English country pub" , "bar" , "Swiss river" , "Hotel with lodging for travellers" .)
