The former youth hostel closed in 2001. In April 2006 plans to demolish the building and to rebuild in stone and slate were refused Lake District planners. The Parish Council objected to the plans on the grounds the new 19 bed hostel "would be visually intrusive, there is no local need for the development, and on road safety issues". http://www.cwherald.com/archive/archive/hostel-%26%238220%3bwould-be-harmful-to-intimate-character-of-area%26%238221%3b-20060422230983.htm
