Of the two Wynnsters, the Peregrine has the better bedrooms I think. You could let the three children and the dog fight it out in the big bedroom and you would still have a decent sized bedroom for yourselves. The second bedroom on the Phoenix would be a bit tight for two adults.

The Peregrine 6 does not have huge living space but its only £155 at World of Camping  http://www.worldofcamping.co.uk/shop/Detail.asp?ProductID=1918   so you could buy a kitchen tent for £40 as well and still have change from £200.

Then again, the Peregrine 8 is £200 and has three bedrooms. http://www.worldofcamping.co.uk/shop/Detail.asp?ProductID=1759

But if it was me with £200 to spend I'd go for the 6 and the kitchen tent. MT

I have seen the inside of the Hartford XL and it is gorgeous and feels nice and cosy in the living area. My only reservation is I prefer dd right next to me, which you wouldn't be able to do with ds3 I don't think - not enough room for 3 in those pods I don't think.

Hi. I didn't put in a link to a kitchen tent  but you can see one here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/membershop/bd_outhouse.asp or there's a picture on my gallery.

The advantages of a kitchen tent are safer cooking away from the main tent but out of the rain, no getting fat or spaghetti sauce all over your main tent and - the point I was getting at above - by moving all your cooking/food stuff out of the main tent you release acres of space and make that main living area so much pleasanter and more roomy its a real treat.

Cymber I have the Outhouse that Merry Terrier has linked to, and it's fab. I've only used it once so far, for a weekend camping with a friend. We set the Outhouse up and used it as a shared kitchen, so only 1 of us had to take stove, gas, kitchen stuff. The pack size is tiny, it's easy to put up, and it really is nice to get all that clutter out of the main tent!

I will bring it with me if all goes to plan in July!
