Sweetwater Catering Co - Bharatpur

The Sweetwater Branch Inn was a wonderful place to stay in Gainesville, FL! The staff was so friendly and helpful. There was a reservation mixup (our fault) so they were very accommodating about finding us another cottage. We stayed at Windsor Cottage, which was a lovely 1 bedroom full kitchen cottage. The breakfasts were excellent with homemade frittatas, breakfast casseroles, fresh fruit and coffee cakes. Their talented chef made something different every day. You can enjoy your coffee and breakfast on a lovely enclosed porch. A 'welcome ' notebook in our cottage provided information about the Inn as well as a list of restaurants in the area. A word of warning about driving in Gainesville there are streets, avenues, places and terraces and it is very confusing even with a GPS! We really enjoyed our stay at the Sweetwater Branch Inn and we highly recommend it if you find yourself in Gainesville.

We stayed here after our daughters wedding 15 years ago and decided to stay there overnight for a trip to the panhandle. We were greeted promptly at 3 pm check in and offered a free upgrade to our room. The house is fabulous and we essentially had the whole place to ourselves since it was a Wednesday night in the summer. The breakfast next day was absolutely fabulous. Perhaps the warm eggs could have been kept warmer but otherwise the selection of food was fantastic. I would stay here again, although I am sure it gets pricey during events at UF.

The maintenance of the hotel is excellent. Its very clean and tidy. The staff are very friendly and courteous. The breakfast of Idli was very delicious. Overall its a very good hotel for a stay in Puttaparthi.

My stay at Sweetwater Branch Inn was beyond amazing, even before checking in on 03/25/2023! While driving to find the main entrance to check in, I was informed by Housekeeping Staff Tara where to park in order to go to the Front Desk. Tara demonstrated true Southern charm and courtesy, whom upon my leaving my room the next day asked about my pets and how I liked my stay. This is proof of caring for the patrons and the essence of true hospitality. Through no fault of Tara's, I still was unable to find the Front Desk and called the main phone number. Front Desk Agent Christine answered the call and demonstrating AMAZING customer service by staying with me on the phone and literally guiding me to the Front Desk and confirming the color of my car though I was still on University Avenue! The entire property is very well maintained, the gardens beautifully manicured, my room Hawthorne impeccably immaculate. As a previous Director of Housekeeping, I was beyond impressed. My breakfast experience was wonderful, the staff was courteous and polite, the selections of delicious breakfast items were very assorted. The property gives a spirit of peacefulness, relaxation and familiarity. I will definitely return here if I find myself in the area and very highly recommend these accommodations to anyone visiting the Gainesville area.

What an amazing property with amazing cottages that really plus the experience of visiting Gainesville. We stayed in Mae’s cottage and spent a lot of time hanging out at the pool late at night and catching up on old memories with friends. The rocking chairs on the front porch were really enjoyable!7
