Crossword Genius

Old-fashioned bloke in sheltered inlet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cove

This clue is a double definition.

'old-fashioned bloke' is the first definition.
(old-fashioned term for a man)

'sheltered inlet' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cove that I've seen before include "where the sea comes in" , "Small bay or Dickensian chap" , "A small sea inlet or slangy man" , "Old fish" , "Small sheltered inlet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
