Look at Go and find out what you like in terms of style. Man / Berth you will need a 5 man or maybe 6 (or 8 if you really like to spread out) as you also have to think that your H may go too.
No suggestions on actual tent but do not forget preloved, ebay and gum tree as you can often see your tent up before you pay for it and check it over. As I'd imagine(for example)a small amount of felt pen on a small corner would not worry you if it kept the price down to your budget.

Can you borrow one from someone for a first holiday? I think it'd be really useful in helping you choose...
I only say that because it isn't until you stay in one for a few nights that you see how you live and what works for you design-wise.. You'll see from this forum that everyone has a view on how much space/what layout you need.
If you borrow one, you've not spent anything upfront if you decide camping's not for you but if you do enjoy in (and I'm sure you will!) you'll have a much better idea of what you want/need
