ServiceStack View 403 (Forbidden) - razor

Question

I have setup Service Stack web project with a couple of views. I can access the /Default.cshtml view without any problems but when I try to access anything in the /Views/ folder I get the below error:
Forbidden
Request.HttpMethod: GET
Request.PathInfo: /Views/MyView.cshtml
Request.QueryString:
Request.RawUrl: /Views/MyView.cshtml
I have looked at the answers here and here as well as many others but I can't seem to figure this out.
Here is my view:
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Fake View";
}
<div>
<div>Hello!</div>
</div>
And my Web.Config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I've also added ?debug=requestinfo to the end of the request but I can't see any obvious errors in the output.
Any help would be appreciated.

See the difference between Views vs Content Pages, i.e. the /Views folder is a special folder for view pages that are only executed with the result of a Service (i.e. similar to ASP.NET MVC Controllers + Views).
Essentially Razor pages in /Views can't be called directly, where as razor pages outside of /Views can only be called directly.
