Well, there is a lot of choice for you....

This will depend on your budget and how much room you have in your car (or if you have a trailer). Also how long are you going way for.... and are there 6 of you. I would always take the number persons a tent can sleep as the absolute maximum. I use a 6 berth for just 2 adults and 3 dogs, it would be very 'cosy' with 6 adults!

Give is a little more info and you will get loads of recommendations.

I really like the Marechal Menorca.
The only downsides for me are only one entrance and the ceiling vent. Upsides are 3 separate bedroom pods .

Have a look at the Obelink website. Some lovely 6 berth polycotton tents on there. We are a family of 4 with two boys under 5 and we have the Familia 6.
