The remainder of the accommodation consists of one double bedroom, one twin and a bathroom. Sweetwater Lodge is surrounded by its own garden and has an enclosed patio with outdoor furniture. Beyond the pond is three and a half acres of woodland to explore including a stream. Cyclists can leave their bicycles in the wooden chalet beside the pond.

Looking across the back of the Island from Tennyson Down towards St Catharine's Point you can see our favourite beaches. In the foreground is the compact horseshoe of Freshwater Bay. At the point where the chalk cliff changes into the golden cliffs along to Hanover point is Compton, from here on round the coast is Brook.
Our nearest attraction, Calbourne Water Mill, is less than a quarter of a mile towards Newport. A fascinating and diverse range of historic exhibits from a working water mill, a classic fire engine to a display on renewable energy. Our children used to enjoy feeding the birds and fish and we still enjoy the tea rooms.
Modern fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher, multi-mode oven, electric hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, washer/ dryer, fridge freezer complete with cookware, crockery and glasses. New bathroom for 2016. The style has the same cottage feel as before but we now have a Power shower, mirror lighting and electric shaver socket.
Sweetwater lodge in the 1990's. Snow White and most of the Seven Dwarfs are around the well. When stuck for a description as to how to find the cottage many locals still know it as "Snow Whites' cottage". She used to change her clothing according to the weather. Sweetwater lodge in the 1900's. These days it seems hardly possible that there were gates on the "main" middle road to Newport as well as on the drive to Westover House.

Currently staying here with our reactive dog, such a lovely cottage with its own grounds and copse to explore. The road is noisy, however, once you get outside you soon forget about that. We would have given 5 stars if there were stock fencing around the boundary, to make it completely dog friendly as we could only let our dog offlead in courtyard area.

Comfortable cottage with great garden and woodland. Kids enjoyed the stream and waterfall + the huge amount of outside space. we enjoyed quiet rural location, easy access to footpath network from the cottage, and short drive to great beaches. Everything in the cottage is clean and new, decor is fresh.
