We spent 5 nights at the Mountain View Manor and had a very comfortable and pleasant stay there. Our room was large and airy, the beds clean and comfortable and the bathroom, with shower and bath, spacious and clean. The views from the ridge were spectacular and the breakfasts were good. The staff are obliging and honest, as demonstrated when the bedroom cleaned returned my driver's licence and a couple of credit/bank cards, which had fallen out of my wallet, to me. I hadn't even realised that I'd "lost" them. The free wi-fi worked well and the lounge/diningroom area is a pleasant and sunny environment to relax, or work, in. The owners are friendly, informal and forthcoming. There were a couple of small issues that we felt should be addressed - the breakfast times in the brochure in the room seem to be inaccurate, indicating that breakfast runs until 10. Be prepared, however, to have a knock on your door if you don't present yourself by 9!! No big deal, but it would be nice to have them aligned. The TV reception in our particular room was very poor and there was a leak in our bathroom ceiling which, to their credit, the owners had been tried to have fixed, unsuccessfully, prior to our arrival. Further attention was to be given to the problem. One other consideration - if you are unfamiliar with the area, the turn-off to the lodge, at night, can be tricky. It is poorly marked and needs to be approached with caution, especially in inclement weather and when the main road is busy. Notwithstanding any of these observations, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return when in the area again. With a little bit more attention to detail, this lodge could really be considered to be an excellent one.…
