Hi, I have not made any decision yet as I am currently waiting on news of redundancy :( but I am looking more towards karma's  5m as it has a fly mesh door and is still cheaper than belltent. I would love the 7m from boutique but cant justify the cost lol. Maybe canvas and cast will have more 6m in :) From what I can see there is very little to cjoose between them but the fly mesh on the doors is swaying me

I've just had an email from Belltent with a discount offer on some of their tents. its probably on their website too.

Ok maybe not.... so heres the offer.

Regarding the coir matting I think it looks great too, but I enquired about the size of it packed up and its literally a really long roll. so if packing space isnt an issue then go for it but if like us you have to shoehorn everything in then perhaps consider what most belltent owners do including us, and sew some picnic mats together.

Congrats threebears I'm sure you will be more than pleased with the tent, although make sure you check it out before you take it away camping, we ordered a second belltent from them earlier in the year for my parents but due to the weather didn't manage to put it up untill last week and unfortunately it had a couple of tears in the groundsheet

Not a big issue and they are exchanging it without a problem but just check it in plenty of time

Our first 'belltent' has been fantastic and I would still recomend them to anyone who asked.

I have, in fact, plumped for Bell Tent UK today - a 5m ZIG (ultimate), with single tea light chandelier. I was swayed by the 10% discount (code: UMBRELLA on ultimate & deluxe tents) and the fact that I was doing my own head in trying to decide between what seems like much of a muchness in the end!
I decided I prefer the look without the fly mesh (Karma) and I had a rather snotty response to a question I asked SoulPad which put me off them (with soul my a*se!). I felt that whilst, they look lovely, Boutique Camping were just abit too 'new' and unreviewed for such a big investment (for me), and the lady at Bell Tent UK was really lovely. Should be here in a couple of days - whoop whoop - so excited. Thanks for the replies and advise x
PS, I have also put in an offer for the eBay German cotton awning, so just waiting to hear :0)
