I bought this tent about a month ago. I have used it two weekends,first weekend was nice and dry and therefore the tent faired well. The porch area with the see through windows are fantastic and make the tent very light (of course it has curtains for privacy) but it is a very striking feature of the tent and what attracted me to it.

There is plenty of room in the porch to seat four people and a very good entertaining space, the sleeping compartments are ideal for 2x2 but not much privacy if this is going to be an issue.

The tent is easy enough for 1-2 people, a sinch with 3! Overall the tent is very roomy, tall enough to stand up in and attractive.

I have also been camping in the rain! And when I say rain it absolutely p#$$ed down! The wind and rain were lashing down and unfortunately we pitched with the main door facing the rain, the side door started to leak through the zip, but only through one point. Then the main door started to leak, again only through one point on the seam underneath the zip. This seam underneath the zip maybe a slight flaw, but I mean the tent took a battering, so she did well I feel, just a shame this seam underneath the zip seemed to be a bit flaky. But please don't be too put off, we were camping in Newgale, by the sea, which as its name suggests, blowing a gale! If your a fair weather camper, this piece of kit will be aces!

I would have given the tent a 10 if it wasn't for the zip seam thing.

My partner and I always love camping in this tent, we took it to the lakes last year and after a major storm through the night the tent held up rather well!only a few guide ropes worked loose from the pegs, but that was down to the standard pegs we used. I am 6ft2 and find this tent ideal, the living area is tall for me to stand in and the living area pod with optional divider is high enough for me to stand up in. The fitted ground sheets are ideal with tapered seams and have never leaked in once!this is an ideal tent for couples, we recommend seperating the sleeping area into two and using one side for clothes, food etc and the other to sleep in, this is better as you have more space in the living area and you are warmer in the sleeping pod.

The only concern I have with this tent is that the side door zip leaks in and the material on the top of the living area is thin, we have a small hole, but overall a very good tent and great value for money.

I've only used this tent a couple of times, and not in heavy rain, so the rating is on the cautious side because of this.First used it on the Monday after the heavy flooding last year. There was light rain which it coped with well.

Bought it for me + kids to have short breaks in, as being short (under 5') I can't put up the Monty 6 with just the children's help. This tent is easy to put up (less than half an hour, if you exclude fiddling round with tarps first, and getting the separate ground sheet to the living area straight.

It worked very well. Ample sleeping room (with airbeds) for 3, although when OH joined us he slept in the living room as it was a bit snug for 4. The sleeping area is one pod with an optional divider. The sleeping pod is pretty high and this makes it feel spacious and airy.

The living area was fine for us, as we are all a bit short. However, anybody tall would have their heads touching the top of the tent at this point so if you're more than 5'6 it's worth wandering around a tent that's on show, to check if it's high enough for you. There's nothing sophisticated about it. I paid Ł75 for it last year.

Don't know how it would perform with high winds or heavy rains, because I haven't put it through that sort of weather. Subject to this, it would be a nice roomy tent for 2 adults or (like myself) an adult and a couple of children.
