I'm looking for help in choosing a 2 or 3 person tent that is easy to pitch, easy to pack away, and most important - easy to dry indoors ! (Can you dry an air tent, or a pop up in a limited indoor space ?)

The tent needs to sleep maximum of 2 people (usually just 1), for up to a week in UK, Easter to Oct only.
I want a porch of some sort.
Tent only used for sleeping and storage, no cooking or chair space needed, so head height not an issue.
I will always be travelling by car so weight/pack size not important.
My current tent is a Eurohike Servern which cost me about £25 about 15 years ago.
Budget - up to £150
Thank you

any tent is easy to dry indoors, just depends on what space you have available and the time to do so. in the past I have been known to hang the tent from the banister down the stairwell after making sure that it is well shook outside to get the majority of water off it, you can also hang them over a door with a towel under the tent or even just lay it on the floor or stairs turning it regularly

Thank you marg6. I've always been able to separate the inner from the fly sheet in the past, but it seems many new tents are all in one, especially the pop-up ones, so I wondered how people dry those indoors.

Any suggestions which tent fits my other criteria please -

I think these are pretty good

Also in red.

The fly, inner and porch groundsheet are all separate parts so can be dried and cleaned individually Only £63 on current offer.

Or this, which has more features

Take a look at the Vango Omega 350, Vango Ark 300 plus, Vango Pulsar 300 or the Vango Beta 350. All these models come with a good sized porch and removable inner tent.

They will all sleep 3 people and I think they also do a two person version of them all.
They are also all within your budget if you shop around.

Thank you everyone. I'm spoilt for choice now !
I will try to see some of the tents 'in real life', then decide which I prefer.
