Accommodation at Windsor:
A Remote Field House
(not a swanky "centre with laboratories")

Room 1	Room 2

The Windsor Orchestra (Snoring Frog, Laughing Frogs & insects)

The owner of Windsor House (wildlife ecologist Dr. Susan Koenig) has bedroom accommodation available for visiting field researchers and she’s happy to accommodate other intrepid visitors. Unfortunately in these post-COVID times, I have had to curtail full meal service and currently only offer breakfast (continental style). The nearest option for dinner is 30 minutes away, in Falmouth on the coast, or visitors can pack-in dry goods and non-perishables from a small local shop in Sherwood (5 km away). I'm currently not able to give guests access to my stove -- it's propane gas and I don't want the 250-year-old house to burn down by accident!

The two primary rooms are in a reconstructed out-building.   Both rooms have twin-size beds and solar-heated showers. Room 2 also has a swanky flush toilet, which supercedes the double pit toilet near the "it's just resting" little Nibby tractor in the workshop.   Room 1 occupants have to trek across the yard for the communal loo.

In a pinch, overflow accommodation can be made available in the main house with the communal loo and shower facilities (cold water only!) at the end of the ground-floor corridor.

The room in the house has a full-size bed and, for bat-lovers, wild Glossophaga antillarum occasionally flying in the corridor. But every sound travels up through the wooden ceiling boards to my space, so if you snore you'll be moved to the dog house :-)

The house operates on solar electricity -- there are no public utilities in Windsor.   Supply and outlet configurations match to the US system of 120V, 60 Hz.   During the summertime electricity is abundant, but we have to think about conserving power in the winter months of December, January and February.

Water is pumped from the Martha Brae River and stored in a holding tank, which gravity-feeds to the house. A swim in the river is refreshing . . .if the mosquitoes don't eat you first.

Laundry service:   an outside laundry sink is available for visitors to wash their clothes by-hand (the proper Jamaican way!).

Internet access:   Enjoy being unplugged and out of contact with the rest of the World - - there is no wifi. The nearest cell phone towers are in Sherwood Content, 5-km from Windsor, so you won't have a phone or internet signal unless you pack in an external antenna and a 10-meter mast-pole on which to mount your antenna.   Remember, the remoteness of Windsor means the wildlife love it here. You will, too, when you are unplugged :-)
