The first thing to think about when you are choosing a dolls house and accessories as a gift is who the dolls house is for. Is it a gift for a young child, an older child, or an adult enthusiast ? What kind of budget are you looking at? Do you want a house that is already painted and just ready to decorate inside, or would you prefer an unpainted one that can be customised? Are you looking for a kit or a house that is already made ? Do you know where the dolls house will be kept and what size would be best for the space available? These are all important factors to bear in mind when choosing your dolls house.
Once you have made these basic decisions we have handpicked a selection of our favourite dolls houses and accessories to help narrow down your search further. These have been chosen based on our most popular bestsellers and positive feedback from previous customers. We have highlighted the relevant features to help make your decision easier – good luck !
Great dolls houses for young children

We stock a fantastic range of dolls houses for children to suit all ages, tastes and budgets. Here are a few of our most popular.
Diamond Wooden dolls house kit – perfect for budding builders
Children just love our diamond wooden dolls house kit
Complete with furniture and easy to follow instructions it’s perfect for any child who loves playing with dolls houses but is also keen to roll their sleeves up and get involved in the building work first (with a little bit of help from you, of course!).

If you’re after a classic charming wooden Victorian dolls house you can’t beat the traditional Exmouth range
Spread over 3 floors with easy opening doors that split open at the front this dolls house is every child’s dream.

With a fully tiled shingle roof, 2 staircases, large projecting bay windows and a veranda with columns, banisters and railings the attention to detail is impressive. What’s more, the easy to follow instructions won’t leave you tearing your hair out – all you need is a tube of glue, a Phillips screwdriver and a big mug of your favourite hot drink while you settle down to build it!
With the Exmouth range you can also choose whether you prefer the basic unpainted model (which comes with furniture or without furniture), or the prettily painted version in pink or cream, again either with furniture or without furniture. And, if you’re keen to extend the house further, either now or at a later stage, the Exmouth has an optional basement which can be easily fitted.
