A wooden dolls house is the Christmas present children remember – and, chosen well, the one that's still being played with years later. This guide compares every wooden dolls house we stock, from a £49.99 Little Dutch fairy house to the heirloom PlanToys Victorian, so you can match the house to the child, the space and the budget.
Small-world play is one of the big toy trends of Christmas 2026, and dolls houses are its heart: a home base for dolls, mice, animals and stories.
| Dolls house | Brand | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Little Dutch | £49.99 | A first dolls house for toddlers and preschoolers; compact and sweet | |
| Little Dutch | £73.95 | Moveable play and small bedrooms – closes up and carries | |
| Little Dutch | £95.00 | The complete gift – house and furniture in one box | |
| Maileg | £40.50 | A first home for Maileg mice; the most affordable Maileg 'house' | |
| Maileg | £197.50 | The classic Maileg house; extend with the Annex (£55.50) | |
| Maileg | £234.50 | The grand townhouse for a growing collection | |
| PlanToys | £299.00 | The heirloom: sustainably made wood, built for a decade of play |
Maileg's houses are designed to be added to. The Mouse Hole Farmhouse takes the Farmhouse Annex as an extension; the House of Miniatures stacks with the Bonus Room and other rooms; and every room can be re-papered with Maileg wallpaperfrom £4.75. That makes birthdays and next Christmas easy, too.
Our exclusive Mouse Hole Farmhouse Bundle (£225) pairs the house with furniture so it's furnished on day one. For room-by-room ideas, see the Maileg dollhouse room guide.
A dolls house without furniture is a quiet Christmas morning. Browse dollshouse miniatures, Maileg accessories and miniature furniture – AW26 additions include the Bunk Bed (£53) and Kitchen Bench (£20.75) – and the Maileg mice to live in them.
Wooden houses survive being climbed on, moved house and passed to younger siblings. They're open-ended – no batteries, no screen, no 'right' way to play – and they hold their value: Maileg and PlanToys houses are among the most re-sold toys in the UK, which tells you how long they last.
Every house we sell is from an official brand partner, arrives in its original packaging and is sent tracked. Orders over £50 ship free in the UK.
Last order date for guaranteed UK Christmas delivery: 17th December (Royal Maileg Tracked 48)
PlanToys is known for toys made from sustainably sourced rubberwood with non-toxic finishes. Full material details are on the product page.
For a 3 year old we'd choose the Little Dutch Wooden Dolls House with Furniture (£95) – it's sturdy, the furniture is included and the pieces are sized for small hands. If they already love Maileg mice, the Castle Hall (£40.50) is a lovely first Maileg home.
Maileg houses are scaled for Maileg mice and bunnies (Mini and Small sizes). Standard 1:12 dolls house dolls are too large, so pair a Maileg house with Maileg characters.
The Little Dutch Wooden Dolls House with Furniture includes a furniture set. Other houses are sold on their own so you can choose the rooms – see our Maileg accessories and dollshouse miniatures collections, or the Mouse Hole Farmhouse Bundle, which includes furniture.
