Sandy Mount House With views of the Irish Sea, experience luxury, fine dining and superior service at this new spot in Anglesey! Sandy Mount House in Rhosneigr has all the ingredients for a romantic weekend getaway. The contemporary beach house rooms are stunning – each equipped with a luxurious bed, fridge packed with local goodies, coffee maker, a morning pre-breakfast platter and Molton Brown bath products. Let chef Hefin Roberts whip you up something delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We enjoyed a delectable Charred Chorizo with Honey starter, Roast Loin of Monkfish served with Spiced Tomato Arancini, Celeriac Puree and Curried Mussels Velouté, finished with a delectable fresh Lemon with Felin Honey Ice Cream. We loved the chorizo so much that we ordered it with French Toast for breakfast! The restaurant has a fantastic relaxed vibe, with great service and stylish interior – however, if you’d rather stay in your robe, ask the team to bring your food and cocktails to the room. Truly a home from home to eat, gather and sleep… www.sandymounthouse.co.uk
