Description of special treatment favoured by Yorkshire resort (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red carpet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'description of special treatment' is the definition.
'red carpet' can be an answer for 'treatment' (I have seen 'special treatment' mean 'red carpet' so perhaps 'treatment' could also mean 'red carpet'). I'm not certain of the 'description of special' bit.

'favoured by yorkshire resort' is the wordplay.
'favoured' becomes 'pet' (as in a pet project).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'yorkshire resort' becomes 'Redcar' (holiday resort in Yorkshire).
'pet' after 'redcar' is 'RED-CARPET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for red carpet that I've seen before include "one under the Queen?" , "for star treatment" , "sort of deferential treatment?" , "Welcoming ground cover" , "Welcoming walkway" .)
