Summary: Amazing cottage and grounds! We thoroughly enjoyed Sherri’s & John’s Middle Cottage at Glebefield! The unique, historical atmosphere f the property and buildings have been well cared-for, comfortable, and lent themselves to a restful stay. Excellent communication from Sherri. We look forward to visiting again sometime.
