21-bed backpackers' hostel can go ahead at Little Langdale, say planners
A BACKPACKERS' hostel in Little Langdale has been given the go-ahead by Lake District planners.
Ian and Jane Stephenson, of the village's Three Shires Inn, plan to convert the Old School Building into 21-bed accommodation, plus a caretaker's bedroom.
According to plans, the property was last used several years ago for Carlisle diocesan youth holidays.
