Pastoral remembering unusual residences and lodges, for starters (5)
I believe the answer is:
rural
'pastoral' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'remembering unusual residences and lodges for starters' is the wordplay.
'for starters' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'remembering unusual residences and lodges' is 'RURAL'.
(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "Sort of dean" , "Characteristic of country life" , "Cobbett saw on his rides?" , "Countryfied" , "Connected with farming" .)
