    “Just got back from 4 nights at Hercules Shepherds Hut.”

    What a lovely place. We’ve been to a few shepherds huts and this is up there with the best. Very roomy and plenty of storage space for food and clothes. It has 2 large ceiling fans which were very welcome in this heat. The bed was very comfy and the covers were the best. It was very tastefully decorated and everything in it was of good quality.We were visited by lots of baby rabbits, a deer and a squirrel. I would definitely recommend and hope to revisit soon.
