Devotees of the beloved BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey now have the ultimate fan experience within their grasp. The iconic terraced house on Trinity Street in Barry, South Wales, which served as the home of Gwen and later Dorris, is officially available for holiday bookings.
Step Inside a Slice of TV History
Known affectionately to viewers as the 'Lush House', this red-brick property featured in every series of the hit show and became the central family home in its final episodes. The house can now be booked for a minimum two-night stay through Sykes Cottages, with prices starting from approximately £472. Since its TV days, the property has been tastefully updated with a fresh coat of paint and modern amenities to ensure guest comfort, while retaining its nostalgic charm.

Downstairs, the living area is equipped with a TV and Wi-Fi, perfect for unlimited rewatches of your favourite episodes. Practical touches include a dishwasher, a washing machine, and an electric fire for warmth. Outside, a quaint garden patio area offers space for fresh air.
