The Retreat | Dolls House Kit

I was gifted this and was very apprehensive about unboxing and putting it together as it was my very first doll house. I was very pleasantly surprised with how easily it all went together and how great it looks now that it’s painted and getting filled with furniture. I am totally hooked and would definitely recommend this kit.

This is the second dollhouse that I have built and this one was considerably easier than my first. This kit isn’t a traditional dollhouse so I was surprised. It doesn’t have a ton of individual pieces and was very easy to assemble. The pieces are a high quality mdf so it’s incredibly sturdy. I absolutely love that the front wall doesn’t get glued on so you can easily access the interior. The thing I didn’t like about the kit was that the box shows a set of French doors and a balcony upstairs as well as the round window version. Ok that’s great I thought that meant that I had the option of purchasing either a kit to convert it or at least could purchase the individual pieces from the manufacturer. That was not the case. I had to search for a door and balcony that would fit. This was not the fault of Minimum World and the customer service team was lovely and answered my questions about the door and balcony. Overall I am very pleased with this product it looks amazing as a beach house.

Never done anything like this but would love too. Is it easy to construct.? Or,is there an easy one to start on first.

This is my winter ‘lockdown’ project. Kit arrived very quickly and I am collecting the essential extras to add before I start constructing it - lighting, skirting boards, flooring etc. Hopefully it will end up as a reminder of a happy week spent in a log cabin in the Rockies a few years ago!

Absolutely fantastic service with the fastest delivery I’ve ever known. Great kit and easy instructions. I’ve only had it out for the dry build but it all looks good. It has great potential this house. Really happy with the service.

Haven’t built this yet, but I took it out of the box to check and it is well made everything seems perfect. I am going to furnish it on a beach theme. Looking forward to starting it.

Excellent value for money, I haven't started it yet, but love it.

I absolutely love this retreat!! done mine as a Christmas themed snow lodge complete with snow!! im actually going to buy another one!

havent started it yet ,got another to finish first-- cheers

This is beautiful so much potential to make what you want
