Cafe Valance is a local gem, tucked away towards the top of mumbles, (Newton road), where a warm welcome and delicious coffee and cakes abound. Always first choice for either a solo cuppa, a coffee with friends, lunch, supper or cocktails too!! everyone there is very friendly whether you have children, babies, elderly, and even, ( and in my opinion)...

We have had lovely coffee and Welsh cakes here on many ocassions, but the last 2 times there have been smelly damp dogs inside ( more than 1 ). The smell is apparent as soon as you go through the door.We went to sit to the rear of the cafe away from said dogs , only to find that there... More

Living locally I did not need to stay. Took my friend from Cheadle Hulme, Manchester for lunch. The weather was lovely so we ate on the front terrace enjoying the buzz of Mumbles. The service was very friendly and the food tasty and beautifully presented. They have a comprehensive, reasonably priced wine list with wines by the glass or bottle.... More

Stayed 2 nights over Easter with Partner. Good location just off the beach "strip" - Easy to find as whole building painted wine red with cute lights out front at night. Access to rooms is gained through bar/cafe, out the back, and up a flight of outdoor stairs - odd and disjointed. No reception for accommodation, you just deal with... More

VERY impressed with Cafe Valance. The rooms are of a very good standard and are excellent value - special note for the very comfy bed, the best night's sleep I've had in ages! It's a quirky little place with real character and I liked it a lot. And everyone is so friendly - how lovely! I was in a bit... More

It can be quite a shock to find this quality of establishment in what many might consider a bit of a backwater of the Welsh riviera. But this little cafe makes it all worth the while. There are plenty of... More

It's a long story as to how we came to be staying at Valance and i'll spare you of the details because all that matters is that it is wonderful! On arrival it was a hot saturday afternoon and my partner and I had a wedding to get to within the hour. However we had issues with our car and... More

We really loved our stay here, great location, great vibe. The owners never seem to stop, and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. When we had breakfast the place was heaving because the Olympic torch had just gone past (we could see all of this from the comfort of our room) but the coffee kept flowing and... More
