The Corbett especially has wonderful vies from the summit, a lovely Corbett with the outlying top. A pint of Corrour Gold, pure nectar after a long day on the hill, should have taken the tent and been able to sample the food and drink. A board full of Ollie's handmade chips are to die for
maybe next time though. Pity about the opening hours but I think they are trying to get Scotrail to install vending machines and also toilet facilities at the station, fingers crossed.
Cheers Rod we heard the food was good

Leum Ulliem looks worth a go too.
Re Corrour Station - the Station house is not a hotel, it is a restaurant with rooms and they basically get food etc in based on who has booked to stay there or to go there for meals. The food is seriously good as are the rooms (we stayed there last year and are returning in a couple of months). They just don't have the capacity to cope with 'drop ins' although they do open the bar after 6.30 as you say, when we were there people popped in from Loch Ossian YHA for a drink no problem.
Cheers i guess there was a reason why they didn't "open" till half 6

Thanks, hope you all have a great day. A couple we spoke to were meant to be on the sleeper but scotrail cancelled it but they laid a taxi on to get them to Corrour
