Perhaps a nice little pop up tent from Decathlon - far less than £100, small but comfy and fully sealed

I have 2 (as there are 4 of us) which we use for the shorter trips when I am too lazy to put up the big tent - these sucjers go up in seconds so theres more beer time

Enjoy

The Sunncamp Evolution is on my wishlist. The single bedroom version can be picked up for less than £100. http://www.worldoftents.co.uk/sunncamp-evolution-400-tent-p-150.html?currency=GBP

Some friends of mine have got the Vango Venture 500 tent which is also good value for money http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1428744-10475506?url=http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/acatalog/Vango_Venture_500_Family_Dome_Tent.html

We can recommend the vango serenlas mentions, easy to put up and a good size living area.

There are some good buys on ebay at times, can be worth a look if you know what you are after, I picked up a Sunncamp tourist xp last year for £10, I gave it to some friends who had just started camping who have used it loads and never had a problem with it.

But if you want a new one have a serach round, there are a few good ones for £100 ish, This has a ZIG and is £89, seems good value or something like this which has been mentioned a few times recently, or this maybe. Half the fun is in the searching.

We love our VV500. We recently purchased the large Vango sun Canopy which does fit but ostructs the side door. However it adds bags of space to the porch area and there is easily space for 4 o sit round a small table. Also great to sit under at night with a glass of wine (OH) and a tin of Guiness. We can pitch the tent in about 20 mins all done including bedding.
