This is our first family tent and we have used it for several camping trips now. We have just added a Rock 5 canopy and have added a photo above to show how it looks when fitted (could not find a single picture before buying one). The tent has loads of room inside and plenty of standing room (I'm 6'2')and we also have a Gelert Atlantis 5 carpet which is a perfect fit.
We have stayed in the tent during steady rain but nothing really heavy although we have experienced high winds with no problems at all.
The tent cost £99 from Go Outdoors and the canopy was only £30 which is great as it really opens the tent up and allows cooking in the rain!
Overall this is a brilliant tent which is very comfortable and spacious.

Easy to put up, plenty of room, looks good, BUT.
Not waterproof enough, it rained heavily on our first night and the whole front section leaked, water literally dripping through the ceiling into the living area, all our stuff got wet. The hydrostatic head is 2000, both our friends had ones of 3000 and remained bone dry. We have taken this back to Go Outdoors and got a full refund.

This is my first ever tent and I love it! Easy to pitch on my own, takes about half an hour. Very spacious for the money and ideal for myself and 2 children. There are handy pockets in the main living area and it's great being to walk around the whole tent without stooping. Would recommend this tent to anyone just starting out. Only down side is that I would love to add a porch but can't seem to find one that fits.

We have used this on a few occasions now, under varying conditions, including some very wet and windy ones! It stood the 'weather test' very well and is superb value for £100 which is what we paid for it.
For the two of us, we find it a very roomy tent, but haven't bothered with the bedroom partition as it gets in the way. Living area is spacious, and thanks to a previous, helpful tip on this site, we have found that the Gelert Atlantis 5 carpet fits perfectly!
In short, it suits our purposes well, it's superb value for money, and we would buy another!

We are proud owners of this tent, having looked at a number of other 'family' tents before purchase. The height is very good, and bedroom sizes are adequate, although we haven't managed to use the room divider as we have a double airbed and the kids have 2 single airbeds and the divider doesn't close well with this configuration, also the zipped 2 bedroom entrances don't zip very easily as our airbeds are a snug fit, possibly the use of self inflating mats would allow the divider to be used and the zips to close easier? We are currently looking at purchase of these.
Easy to erect, our last camping trip this weekend we had it up in record time of 15 mins, kitting out the rest of the tent took a bit longer!
We've had some heavy rain and no leaks, which is the main thing really. So overall pleased with our purchase. We paid £119 for the tent on 'sale' in Go Outdoors in late summer 2010.
We are looking forward to future camping trips in it!

Just returned from a cracking, if yet a very wet weekend in Wales and this tent stood up proudly despite the gales and driving rain that we had.
It took us both 30mins to pitch, and the whole weekend to oohh and ahh at all the room that we had (we could walk around both the bedroom and the living area without stooping) and the novelty of the SIG that no muddy water got in,it was great zipping ourselves in all nice and dry out of the rain and sit looking at Snowdon out of one the three windows.
There are handy storage pockets in the living room for loads of bits and bobs and four pockets in the sleeping area as we took out the divider which allowed us to put the double airbed in the middle and then each have our own entrance and clothes area.
There are two entrances to choose from to use, which was handy to avoid the wind, though no poles with the tent to open them up, but we used our bamboo poles which worked perfectly.
All in all we are very happy with this tent, it gives us plenty of room to store all our gear both in the living and bedroom area, it is by far the best tent we've ever had for the 99 pound we paid for it. We never stopped saying ' oh my god, I can't believe how good this is!'

This is my 3rd tent of the season ! and without a doubt the best, having had probs with my previous tent I read reviews and travelled miles before I purchased this one. It was at a bargain price of £99,down from the rrp of £200. It was easy to pitch and took hardly any time to erect. Being fully sewn in it kept us warm on a cold early sept night. 1 bedroom is an excellent size,and the 2nd is slightly smaller but is also of a good size. The living area is also a decent size and with 3 windows lets in plenty of light.
The only faults are not with the tent but the accessories, there is no footprint,carpet or canopy available for this model? I have contacted GO OUTDOORS from whom I brought it off and they said the products should? be on sale in 2011, I hope so! I wish I had got this tent earlier in the season. And looking forward to 2011 already.

A nice tent for tall people. My partner is 6'1' and has plenty of head room.
Easy to put up and take down, I will be attempting it on my own next week without any qualms.
Nice that one bedroom area is bigger than the other giving it a double bed and single bed layout, snug fit for our double air mattress.
Very happy with it
