You mentioned the Diablo Eaglehurst, is that your prefered?
Diablo has loadsa space in the bedrooms for your numbers, Diablo 600 pitch is definately a 2 person job, it is a bit heavy thought when all packed up in it's bag but that wouldn't matter really if the car is your transport.
There are loads of threads in here regarding the pitching of the Diablo ( very popular tent in the Forums) and loads of hints and tips.
I would go for a nosey round the tent shops, check out the bedroom space, even have a lay down in them..! Imagine your gear, like hold-alls with clothes in, sitting in the bedroom pods. Places for your cooker, wee table and chairs etc, to go...
I've found ( biased again ) that the Vango is a well rounded tent, suitable for all weather types, plenty of room in the porch for cooker on a stand, cool boxes, shoes, kids toys etc. Then in the living area tons of room for 4 chairs and a table AND still room to move about. The bedrooms take a double and a single comfortably with the hold-alls at your feet.
But, all said, whatever tent floats your boat, Stick to the 'brand' names and you really can't go wrong.
Cheers !

1.~ separate pods prefered ~ it will be me and my wife in one bedroom and my 3yr old nipper in another. My wife would prefer one she can stand in if poss. 2.mostly for longer breaks (1 or 2 weeks) 3. hopefully spring to early autum use. 4 we'll transport it by car. 5. approx 200 to 300 quid (cheaper end preffered ~ of course)
With a budget of 200-300 for a two sleeping pod tent for three gives you LOTs of choice. With a 3 year old, you may want to get one of the bedrooms big enough to get all three of you in, in case they want to come and join you.
As others have said, the best thing is to go and look at lots of models.
In addition to the dome already suggested, have a look at some alternative shapes such as the Vango Aspen and Sunncamp Oasis - nice size tents, with good alround space and lots of comfort. With the Aspen, the kids bedoom as an ajoining zip, so you can get to them easily.
One of the diferentiators will be if you want to stand up in the bedrooms, as well as the living area. Lots of the domes don't do this, but the tunnels do - have a look at which you prefer.
Others will ahve mentioned already the popular Outwell's: Montana 6 and Sunnvalley 6 - definately have a look at them.
Hope it helps.
