Donna Bull from Wylands Farm said: "The site is probably best known for its fishing and accommodation, but now we have so much more.

"We are very proud of what we have built here, and now we want to make local people aware of what we have lots on offer and with the Festive Season almost upon us we thought this was the ideal time. "We have opened a top-quality Farm Shop offering the very best in fresh produce, drinks, gifts and more.

"During this year, we also opened our Lakeside Café , which opens seven days a week, which has quickly become very popular too.
