Look where you want to go, not the corner
I do this on the road bike because I know the front tyre will stick, I don't trust the front end on the MTB to do so, and therefore I want some warning that I'm about to plough straight on into a tree. That said, I'm looking at corner exit, but admittedly not nearly as far down the road as I would be on the road bike (if on a road). Road road road.

Weight on the front tyre means grip. Stay on your bike Danny.

Funny, @platypus and I were discussing an LFGSS skills day today

It's possible that the front end feels odd, as the suspension on a hire bike won't be set up just right for you. A small adjustment in air pressure can make the difference between the front wheel feeling planted, and becoming a wandering mess.
Among other things, such as tyre pressure, bar height, lack of coaching, and not being a Jeffsy.
