If money is tight, you could get a second-hand six berth frame tent for a bargain price at the moment. They are quick & easy to erect, over six foot head height, lot's of windows, no condensation problem, warmer on cool nights & cooler in hot weather, stand up to stormy weather brilliantly, and can last up to 30 years if you look after them.

I second the canvas frames,we bought our 6 berth for £40 and bought some new springs for her as a few of the poles had seperated,can now be pitched in less than 15 mins,or can recommend outwell utah 6..don't come up very often on ebay as they are discontinued,but fab for families,you can use the two bedrooms as one large since your children are young, or Outwell montreal(argos) going for around £100 at the moment,sewn in groundsheet.,vango icarus 500,have no experience of this one,but is very popular with families..could go on and on,but I think these are my recommendations.

It's a brilliant size for four adults, so your children could grow into it. Height is great - my daughter and son-in-law have just invested in one, and he is 6ft. 4!
