A tent is personal, what one person likes then someone else will hate it.....

The best way is to look around various camping shops where they have tents on display, but don't forget to imagine them with all your stuff in them. They look huge empty but once you have all your equipment in they soon seem to shrink!

Good luck in yo ur search!

Hi,

We bought a Kyham Montreal last year, it's a 6 berth tunnel tent with huge living space and an optional canopy. It took us ages to choose. I looked around a couple of sites and I started to make a list of what features I liked and I then went looking again armed with my wish list! Sadly I still did not see anything that ticked all the boxes, until I came across this one on the internet. Very few Camping shops have Kyhams on display. But our previous tent was a Kyham (it's great and is still going strong) but our family circumstances changed, so we required a different layout.  

I would recommend the Montreal for sure. It is big, 5x8m but it's not intimidating to put up. (Although, you would probably need two people). But the large living area certainly pays off in wet weather, especially when you have a large family and visitors turning up! We had 8 people in there with all their chairs and tables and there was still room to easily walk around. 

Obviously this may not be to your taste, but you did ask for recommendations!

There is a catch, it's now discontinued. However, we took a chance and got one from Somerset Camping at approx £260. (Think they are still in stock) You get a lot of tent for your money, and because it's a bargain the remaining money in our budget went on the  footprint and carpet. Which finishes off this good quality tent nicely. 

Good luck with your search.
