We went to Regents Retreat mainly to observe the birds. Clare greeted us with a very long list of do's and mostly don't's, especially regarding the precious Persian rug on the floor, which was impossible to avoid. We were not to change the setting on the air conditioner. The bnb was beautifully clean and we enjoyed the breakfast however, there was no stove to cook our meal that night. We made do with a small microwave. There was not even a barbeque. The pool needed scrubbing and the pool light was hanging by a wire. The garden and pool surrounds were very neglected. It was raining and that was apparently the reason there were no birds (never had a problem before) If we went for a walk we were told not to get leeches because if we got one we would bleed and there would be hell to pay if there was blood on the sheets and towels. Could only walk about 200m anyway! We felt quite uncomfortable, but could laugh at the absurdity of it all.
