Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage

Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage Review



This is a gorgeous little house that I fell in love with and couldn't wait to purchase for my daughter who appears to love it as much as me. I very very pleased with it after being a little unsure from reading the other reviews. The instructions were easy to follow and there were not too many components to put it together but I would not want to keep taking it down too often. I think it's something you will put up and leave up for a while. The poles are metal and sturdy but the joiners are plastic and one of them was already snapped out of the box. I stuck it somewhere I hope it won't make much difference whilst I phone customer service for a replacement. It took me the best part of an hour to set it up but was very pleased with the result. It's such a nice size. Not too big to take up too much room and not too small that it can't be played with properly. The detailing is lovely and the quality is really rather good. The fabric is good quality and it feels well made overall. It comes with the cooker which again is also very well made even though it's a mixture of hard laminate and plastic. It's an interesting innovation to make the house fit inside each other but it works and makes the house take up a lot less room than I was expecting. It only loses marks for being so expensive. I think all the products in this range are overpriced for what you get.

Absolute worst buy - EVER!! - B. Collins - Ireland
We got this as a Xmas present for our little girls (ages 18months & almost 3) i bought it based on the good reviews it got, however i wasted my time reading them & my money on such a useless gift! the quility is so so poor, they recieved it on Xmas day & already it is broken in three places and ALL the plastic bars are strained despite little playtime. My husband is planning in making something based on the idea - as the idea is great but the quility totally bad!!! i plan to return it the company asap! dont buy this !!



best xmas pressie I ever bought! - N & T's mummy - uk
I uumphed and aarghed about buying this last Xmas for my little girl aged 3 but I shouldn't have worried. It is the best toy we have ever bought and she and her brother aged 5 play in it or using it every single day. It role plays as a house, a spy hideout, a school a shop - you name it they play in it. They take on different roles, and my daughter rearranges the house and the contents inside on a regular basis! They both talk about it at school and it is the first thing they show their friends when they visit who all play in it too!

I bought the inflatable chair to go with it which was also good value (although its not always in the cottage!) and the kids fill it with all their other cookers, cots, prams etc.

Their grandmother also finds it a fab toy too and she should know! - she has to sit in there for hours on end - while her grandaughter plays house and makes constant cups of tea and looks after her babies!!

We've found the quality to be 100% although my kids on the whole are generally careful with their possessions. Nothing has ripped or torn and I hoover it out regularly.

I would recommend it wholeheartedly!



The best toy investment i have made! - Ms. S. Jones -
We all know how important it is for our children to role play as they turn into toddlers and to let their imagination run wild! This toy stimulates both role play and imaginative play.
It is by far the best toy i have bought for my daughter! We bought it for her 2nd birthday at the beginning of 2008 and from the moment we put it up she played with it all day everyday until about 8 months later when we had to take it down due to redecorating.
Rose Petal Cottage was put back up a few weeks ago now that my daughter is 3! She has fallen in love with it all over again, and so has my son who is 1 years old. We originally bought quite alot of the packs that go with the rose petal cotteg and we have lost a few on the way, the only ones in my opinion you really need is the kitchen set which comprimises of the washing machine and sink. (the cooker comes with the rose petal cottage).
If you want something fun, that you will feel was a very good toy to buy, i would recommend this for any children 2 years upwards (i have a 5 year old neice and 6 year old neice who love playing with it when they are here. I have to also state my daughter has hers pushed together to form the complete house and not opened up (her choice) so you do need quite a bit of room for it! An excellent toy!



Dream Town Rose petal Cottage - P. Ian A. Macpherson - UK
The cottage itself is excellent and was an instant success with both a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old who play with it constantly and develop their own games with it. However, the packaging in which it was delivered was slightly damaged and as a result the product itself was scuffed slightly, although insufficiently to return the product - the reaction of the girls would have prevented this anyway! The Amazon procedure for dealing with this type of issue is inadequate with a very limited comment facility which fails to engage the user in a dialog and which does not allow the submission of photographic evidence.
