guesthouse

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

'a bed and breakfast' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'hugest building by river' is the wordplay.
'building' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'river' becomes 'ouse' (Yorkshire river).
'hugest' with letters rearranged gives 'guesth'.
'guesth'+'ouse'='GUESTHOUSE'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for guesthouse that I've seen is " Boarding establishment".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
