We put the tent up before we went away, so we new where everything went and got no nasty shocks. Went up in lest than an hour the first time. And more like 30mins on site.
The only down side I found was the inner section has to go up first, luckily it was dry when we pitched but a slight worry.
Size wise, fantastic - We upgraded to this from a 4man tunnel tent, one bed room and crawl space only. This one is great. We have two large dogs and we all go in one bedroom and use the other as a storage area.
Their are cool bits like the cup holders, loft tidy and pockets at the side of the bedroom doors. We look at over 30 tents easy before choosing this one. Good pick, intend on keeping it for a long time!

I have used this tent on two holidays now in 3 different locations. The first holiday in Devon was last year for a 9 night stay and thought it was fantastic, lovely and comfortable pretty easy to put up, even for a novice and we had absolutely no problem. However we didn't encounter any bad weather.
The second holiday consisted of 5 nights in Wales on the coast near Snowdonia and then 5 nights in Somerset. It was in Wales where we discovered our first problem. On a very windy night of gusts up to 60mph we were almost taking off, the owner had to place both his landrover and freelander as well as our astra around the tent to provide some sort of blockade against the wind, and we had to go out several times in the night to repeg. This really wasn't the tents fault as what can be expected in such high winds, however the height of it ( a bonus all the rest of the time) was a big problem on this night.
The main flaw however appears when it is windy and wet at the same time. As you but the inner up first, the outer fly sheet when windy is blown into the inner and therefore in the torrential rains we had to put up with the side of the tent getting a battering from the rain got absolutely soaked, and all our clothes were drenched.
Although therefore I would suggest looking at the weather forecast before using this tent, and avoiding high winds. It did recover well and for the rest of the holiday it was a dream. So I will continue happily to use this tent a few more times!

We love our Quebec 8+4.
Easy to put up and fairly quick too (even at first attempt).
The bedrooms are good size and at 5'7' I can stand up comfortably to get dressed etc.
We've slept 2 adults(double lilo) and 1 child (single lilo) comfortably with plenty of room for luggage etc.In 1 bedroom.
The sewn in ground sheet is fabulous and keeps out unwanted drafts and water! Lovely and cosy at night.
The drinks holders and roof tidy are a great idea. The roof tidy is great for the little bits you need to find in a hurry - torches, keys, chargers etc.
The tent is easy to take back down again and the bag leaves plenty of room if you don't quite fold it back up exactly as it was when purchased.
Would love to find a porch/extension to put on the front as this would enhance our camping experience but as is this is a fantastic tent for 1 night stay or a whole holiday.

What a fantastic tent!
We love this, loads of space! Love the cup holders and overhead storage net. Lots and lots of windows, vents and skylights.
Sewn in ground sheet kept out the ants nest that we found under us when we took it down!
Very very easy to put up and take down, comes in really nice bag but is quite heavy when all packed up.
Electric access points are great fun for the children to post letters to each other
This really is a perfect tent.

Fantastic tent. Very easy to pitch.
Bought and pitched in torrential rain in Cornwall with high winds and withstood the whole week. Bags of space to store everything a family takes with them.
Very light and airy due to the sky lights and the sewn in groundsheet was an absolute blessing when the camping field became a bog!
Loved the storage bag and very easy to take down and quick too.

Just bought this fab tent and I cannot praise it enough. We have just taken it on it's first trip and it was so good. We had gale force winds, rain, sun, everything mother nature could throw at us and the tent was brill! We are a family of 5 and we felt like we had loads of space.
The sewn in ground sheet and 3 separate rooms were the main selling point for me and I can say it lived up to it's expectations.
Highly recommend this fab looking tent to anybody!

I bought this tent last year in green, its FAB I've been to Spain in it in the rain last year, been away 2x this year took a friend and her 3 kids there was plenty of room for us all when it rained to sit in and play games, love the idea of the sewn-in ground sheet so if it rain it goes right under and nothing gets wet, I have bought a sun canopy to go on the front for kitchen and I can zip it up and have the tent open makes a bit more space when I want a coffee in the morning and the kids are playing. Over all I would tell anyone to buy it. Its easy to put up on my own! I wonder if they do a bigger one !

Just bought this tent and had first outing in it.
It has to be the best one we have owned so far. There is plenty of room inside for our family of four.
Its also easy to pitch. Takes about 15 minutes from opening bag to putting last peg in. The loft space, storage pockets and cup holders in each bedroom come in very handy. There is a cable entry on one of the doors. You can use either door as a canopy as they are identical. Wish we had found this tent 2 years ago. We could have saved a lot of money.

This tent is the perfect balance - big enough for a family tent and small enough to pack in the back of the car and put up easily.
Our babies are 2yrs and 7months, and at the moment we all sleep together in one compartment and use the other for storage and toys. When they're bigger we'll sleep in seperate sections. The tent makes use of all the space, and the loft storage is perfect for the first aid kit, a bottle of wine and all those other things you don't want little hands to get hold of.
The sewn-in groundsheet means that once the tent's zipped up, the babies can't escape - yet it's light and airy enough not to feel claustrophobic.
All in all, it's perfect for our little family and I think that it will grow with us too.

I love my Quebec 8+4.
It is straightforward to put up, neat and tidy in appearance and fairly spacious.
My partner and I sleep in one of the compartments and we throw the three kids in the other.
I keep looking at bigger as the kids are getting older and therefore bigger (three girls aged 12, 11 and 5!)
But really don't want to get rid of this tent! Maybe I just need to buy another one of these!
