Prat with European holiday home (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gite

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

'holiday home' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'prat with european' is the wordplay.
'prat with' becomes 'git' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'git'+'e'='GITE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gite that I've seen before include "French holiday house" , "Furnished holiday house in France" , "French holiday home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
