Our homemade afternoon tea is a very tasty addition to any visit. There is car parking available onsite for guests use also.
Our resort is well spaced, each accommodation lodge is self contained and has its own decked outdoor area with seating. We designed our resort to make the most of the stunning views and want guests to have a relaxed home from home atmosphere with a little pampering to top it off. With this in mind we decided to keep our capacity to a small limit so that this can be achieved.
We offer guests the option of booking out our entire site for their group if they would prefer exclusivity on their stay.
Each of our overnight lodges are different, though each one offers complete luxury to our guests.
Lodges can accommodate various group sizes, so if you need any help deciding which lodge might suit you best we’re more than happy to help with any questions you may have.
Lodges have superior double beds, sofa beds and bunk beds, bathroom consisting of toilet, shower and wash hand basin, outdoor seating with overhead patio heaters on their decked area and our larger lodges also have small kitchens and dining areas to ensure a little home away from home atmosphere. Our lodges have full electric throughout, wifi available, outdoor path lighting, spacious garden and planted areas and hot tub and sauna areas have lighting to make the most of the facilities even after the sun goes down.
Our ‘Hungry Den’ BBQ hut is a big hit for cooking your own tasty grub around the charcoal BBQ firepit, toasting marshmallows and maybe even a little sing song....
Our communal lodge ‘Gallion House’ has its own bar area which is great for hosting parties and special celebrations. This is where we serve afternoon tea for our day package guests, where they can enjoy their delicious homemade treats while taking in the stunning views and all that our site has to offer. We’ve a selection of board games and cards to pass a while on a rainy day if you’d prefer to stay indoors and a large outdoor corner sofa with a fire pit all with overhead outdoor patio heaters.
Our latest additions to the site area are our state of the art resistance pool, large children’s play park with climbing frame and our personal favourite....raised viewing area; the highest spot on the site really has the most breath taking view. So no matter what age, there’s sure to be something for you at Mountain View!
