Devotees of the beloved BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey can now live out their television dreams by booking a stay in one of the show's most iconic locations. The terraced house on Trinity Street in Barry, South Wales, which served as the home of Gwen and later Dorris, is now available for holiday rentals through Sykes Cottages.
Inside the 'Lush House' Experience
Known affectionately to fans as the 'Lush House', this red-brick property featured in every series and became the central family home in the show's final episodes. It can accommodate up to five guests across two bedrooms. One room boasts a double bed, reminiscent of where Gavin and Stacey stayed, while the second features twin bunk beds, ideal for children.
The house has been updated for guests since its TV debut, receiving a fresh coat of paint and modern amenities. These include a TV with Wi-Fi for unlimited episode rewatches, an electric fire, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. A quaint garden patio area provides space for fresh air.
Explore Barry and Its TV Heritage
The location puts guests in the heart of Barry, with roadside parking available for easy exploration. Visitors can walk in the footsteps of Nessa, Smithy, and the gang by visiting the iconic Barry Island promenade, its arcades, and fish and chip shops. Key spots like Marco's Café and the arcade where Nessa worked are all within reach.
Beyond the Gavin & Stacey trail, the area offers family attractions like Barry Island Pleasure Park and the natural beauty of Porthkerry Country Park, with its stunning woodland walks and views of the Bristol Channel.

Stays at the Lush House require a minimum booking of two nights. Prices begin at approximately £472, though rates increase during the busy summer months. Reservations are made exclusively online via the Sykes Cottages website. This offer provides a unique opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in a genuine piece of British television history.
