Lictat 400 with sun canopy. Lictat can be found for £90 and I paid £35 for a new Lichfield sun canopy from eBay so both well within your budget.

The Vango Icarus is a 15 minute set up time, with three poles all the same length so no colour coding.
The 500 model is £130. You can get a canopy for £35 or an extension for double that, but if you look in my gallery you'll see the benefit of the extension is the addition of the door.
The 600 model is £179ish.
There is a 600 dlx model for £219 at the Outdoor Megastore.

We purchased a weekend tent earlier on in the year as we had the same problem with our Idaho XL (fab tent but a bit on the large side for 1-2 nights away). We ended up with an Outwell Virginia 5 which suits fine. We have two boys and find the sleeping and living areas adequate. The only downside being there is no porch area but you can buy an extension. If you do fancy a look at this tent, it can only be bought in Yeomans.

I can't agree with Victoria more, we're somewhat novices and we can manage the Icarus no problems. We also have the canopy which proved invaluable for cooking under and sitting out!

That is a nice tent! I didn't realise they did the coleman in blue?!! We were looking at the beige/khaki coloured ones and they really didn't float my boat so we bought another brand. Now regretting it after seeing your pic!!

I like it CG its well put together and the canopy gives you more practicality. i would certainly look at other colemans in future.

Has it got fly screens on the bedroom doors? Our tent does not have them and I need ventilation at night!
