A farm tearoom in the west of the island has announced it has shut its doors.

Knockaloe Farm Tearoom announced it has now closed and the space at the farm has been taken over but also stressed other retail units at the farm remain open.

Posting on social media, the tearoom owners said: ‘Our tearoom is closed as Vannin Vets Ltd (farm animal specialists) now use it for their office.

‘Thank you again for all your custom, we enjoyed serving and meeting you all. We wish Vannin Vets Ltd well in their new venture.

‘The shops in the yard, The Dog's Breakfast and Knockaloe Farm Shop & Country Supplies, are still open and we look forward to seeing you there.’
