We try to avoid the commercial sites for just this reason. Our Vango Aspen 700DLX needs a bit of space. We booked into Peartree Farm in Dorset for the summer and told them which tent we have - the pitch is 12 x 9mtrs and no extra cost. Every site we have booked has had no problem with us having a big tent.

The issue you may get is turning up and not having enough space to pitch. It's a bit like paper, stone, scissors - your Monty outdoes anything smaller. 

I would say that you told them what tent you had when you booked and see if there is some leeway to be honest - I have been to sites that give maximum pitch sizes and when you get there you see some tents that are almost circus tent sized pitched!   (useful for pitching near to protect you from the elements though lol) 

But I would seriously see how much leeway they are prepared to give before phoning back as yourself if necessay (hope that makes sense)

Yes it does Kwelchick . With regards to Val, I am thinking that I won't pitch the side entrance, it is sealed from the inside and so it won't be a problem if I don't pitch it. Then it will be a perfect rectangle of 4.15 x 5.85. Only 15 cm over! I will phone them as a potential new customer and see what they say! It's just if they say no I will be guilt ridden if I still go. No more commercial sites after this one.

You could do that.  With the flexible porch pole in place the side s of the porch will roll up and can be tied back to the main tent.  There's fittings on the porch/tent to do this.
