Gavin and Stacey Doris House Now Holiday Rental

Published 9 November 2025

Fans of the beloved BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey can now book a stay in one of the show's most iconic filming locations, a terraced house on Trinity Street in Barry, Wales, that served as the fictional home of the character Doris.

The property, known in the series as the residence of the sharp-witted neighbor Doris, played by the late Margaret John, has been transformed into a holiday rental called Lush House. It became the family home for protagonists Gavin and Stacey, portrayed by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page, following Doris's passing in the 2019 Christmas special storyline. The house stands next door to the one used for Gwen, Stacey's mother, played by Melanie Walters, and Uncle Bryn, played by Rob Brydon. Owned by superfans Lisa and Chris Molloy, who purchased it shortly after it came on the market in 2008, the redbrick terrace overlooks Barry Island and accommodates up to five guests.

Bookings are available through Sykes Holiday Cottages starting as early as next week, with rates beginning at £472 for a two-night stay or £624 for a full week in November, equating to about £18 per person per night when shared among five. The interior features a cozy living and dining area...
