I've bought one as well, only I haven't had a chance to set it up yet. I think for the money you can't go wrong really, they're a trusted brand & I think that actual tent is used by several other companies, with different colours, & simply re-badged (& re-priced to varying extents).
There's a couple of reviews on this link here

I will, of course, be writing my own review when I get round to putting mine up. It better be ok as I'm taking it to France for most of July (& maybe longer), & I haven't got the time or money to buy another tent.
Like I said, you can't go wrong for that price, you're getting £70's worth of tent for £35! What more do you want?

Just bought the 4 man 2 room tent at £59.99 at Argos. Taking it for a short break this week, and trialed putting it up a few days ago - could do it easily on my own. Looks like it will be a good buy!

That's the Regatta one isn't it? Reduced from £69.99 to £34.99.
Glad you liked it, I still haven't had a chance to put mine up yet. I knew they wouldn't be bad, I also had a feeling it would be a bit of a squeeze to get 4 in there.

I'm going to France with it on my own, which doesn't mean I have to be on my own every night So I guess it would make quite a comfortable tent for 2?

Is that a Regatta tent? Or the Pro-Action one?

I've heard mixed reactions for the Pro-Action tents. I get the impression they are good value for money, just that some peoples expectations are too high . I think the best advice I can give is to take your time when setting up, make sure you peg ALL the guy lines out, follow the instructions & use common sense.
If you show these things some respect, treat them well & look after them, there's no reason they shouldn't last you many a good camping trip.

Had a couple of trips in mine, seems a good little tent, though probably more suited to 2 normal sized adults than 4 very small thin people. Stood up to rain fine, though not really heavy, but thumbs up from me so far.

I've just purchased the Regatta 4 Dome tent off Argos, and am looking forward to putting it through its paces at a music festival in a couple of weeks. There'll be two of us sleeping in it, so hopefully plenty of room.

It's a nice tent, should be plenty of room for you. The only real downside for me is that mine has to be put up inner first, then the fly over the top. Of course it never lines up properly first go!
