The Coleman Mosedale 5 would fit the bill; especially the blackout bedrooms, which really work, but I cannot recommend it as I had to shorten two of the poles with a hacksaw, and one of the pole collars came loose! Shame, as in other respects it is a good roomy budget tent.
Edit - if I was buying again, I would certainly consider a canvas bell tent + with wood burning stove (I'll have to get some use out of the Mosedale before I can justify this though).
Edit 2 - If you want something a bit bigger with the blackout bedrooms, there's the Coleman Pinto Mountain and Oak Canyon.

I was looking at the Croyde classic and 500/800 TC last year. I preferred some of the TC features, however the end of season sale price of the Croyde tipped it
I wasn't concerned about the polycotton mix, as material is either breathable or not. Full polyester is sealed so not breathable, any significant amount of cotton will allow condensation to wick through and evaporate externally and increase the breathability of the fabric in hot dry weather.
Polyester fine for bedrooms as it's not sealed with a waterproof coating and bedrooms have lots of mesh to allow circulation.
Lots of happy Kampa poly cotton owners if you read the reviews, though I still like the Vango TC's with the skylights. Kampa have now added zip up curtains which was another difference.
