Hi Charmie and welcome to UKCS, we're owners of a 5m Soulpad bell tent.  Usually only my husband and I sleep in it as our teenagers have their own little pup tents, however on our last night in France they slept in with us (a double airbed and a single together with our double campbed) and we managed for the night.  I'm not sure I'd want to share with them all the time.  Here is a pic of our setup in France this year.  Be prepared for people asking to have a look inside, we get that all the time now and even had a dutch couple take a pic of her

we tent to leave our shoes outside the door and we also have a kitchen tent to cook in, the tarp was a godsend when we had rain as we were able to still sit out and not get wet.  We got the biggest groundsheet we could get from B&Q but chucked it in France before we come home cause it was mafted with the rain we'd had, we just unzipped the groundsheet from the tent and packed it seperate so we can wash off the mud

Hi Charmie

I have various sized bells.  Ideally I would go towards the 6m bell - however these can be a bit of a pain to order as the only dealer i know is canvas and cast, who usually have quite a long delivery time (they dont come cheap either!)

Failing that I would look at the emporer from belltent.co.uk - I don't think a standard 5m would be big enough
