I was looking for something similar to a wendy house I used to have when I was little for my daughter, who is 3. I had seen the rose petal cottage and was toying with the idea of buying that when I came across the princess castle. Oh how she loves it! It's like a dream come true for her. Whilst it is indeed ued as a princess castle a lot of the time, it is also a shop, a hospital, a hiding place for quiet reading...you name it. Yes, it is large. We are fortunate enough to hava a family room with an alcove so that it can remain up all the time. One side is smaller thn the other so it can half in size on an evening (when it is also ued to 'store' a lot of the other toys left lying around!).
The castle comes with a lovely banquetting set (note, it does NOT include the stools and tables shown in a couple of the pictures) and a princess dress.
The larger half has an arched door and three turrets, the smaller half has a window and also some very cute tie back curtains. We have placed a blanket down as a rug to make it extra cosy.
All in all, excellent value at the special price we bought it at on amazon just before christmas and miles and miles of play value.
