Great little tent. I've had it a few years now and its proved itself time and again. It is superb for two but am guessing that three adults would be a little cramped inside. There is plenty of room for two with all our gear and its very cosy. Especially like the pockets inside the tent to keep random bits from getting lost like keys, headtorches etc. Good to have a porch area where the boots/hiking/cooking stuff can be stored with inbuilt groundsheet. Its kept us warm and dry on many a stormy night and has been excellent value for money and has proved itself over the years. Its easy and quick to put up and packs up very small. A great little all rounder that comes highly recommended. I would definitely buy another one.

I've owned this tent for six years now and never had any major problems.
Yes there are a few niggles, as others have mentioned the design of the other door aint great and cold water down the back of your neck first thing in the morning is rather refreshing.
Also the tent wont stand up to very high winds, 60 mph gusts and the poor old tent is bent over like a limbo dancer.
All in all a good tent well worth its money

We bought this in a rush a few years ago for use solely at festivals, and only recently got it back out of the cupboard. It is great for 2, 3 people would be a squeeze. It is so easy to assemble and can withstand strong winds and is very waterproof except in the porch area, as it leaks through the zip. Great for basic camping needs as it does the job!

I own a motorcycle and tour on my own so this tent is perfect as there is plenty of room. The porch is a good size and ideal for storing motorcycle luggage etc. It is easy to put up and I have used it in Scotland, France, Germany and Switzerland. My only gripe is the entrance if its rained, water pools in the dip of the porch roof and when you unzip is drips straight into the tent and onto you! I have used in torrential rain with no leaks and its light enough to take on the bike with no problems. Value for money is fantastic and for the use it gets odd weekends and 2 weeks in the summer a great buy.

I found this tent to be a great size for 2 people, 3 would be snug. The porch area is of a decent size allowing quite a bit of storage without impeding the way in & out. The build quality seems good and I think its excellent value for money.
I have only used it twice but on the first occasion it did have to withstand some very heavy rain, which it did with no problems.
I personally like the side door layout, as the door cuts into the porch roof it allows you to stand on the ground sheet when entering and exiting allowing you to take off shoes & coats while stood up straight before ducking into the tent.

My girlfriend bought this tent before dragging me along for a long-ish weekend in Cornwall and what was to be my first time camping.
The tent was easy to put up, taking a matter of minutes. However, my girlfriend had attached the inner tent to the flysheet beforehand, a process that apparently was a bit fiddly, but it shouldn't have to be done every time.
The tent stood up well to some heavy rain and didn't leak. We were spared from windy weather, though, so I can't say how well it copes in high winds.
The inner tent was a fair size for two people, but I reckon three would find it cramped. There was ample room for us and our gear, although if we had our motorcycling stuff and/or were staying longer than three nights we might have struggled a bit (obviously not an issue if you have your car there to stash things in). The door on the inner tent can be opened whilst leaving a mesh in place to keep bugs out, which helps with ventilation.
The porch area is OK, but personally I think it could do with some more windows. As the previous reviewer noted, some water did find its way into the porch area thanks to gaps around the bottom and condensation was also an issue, although I understand it often is with tents like this. We also had a problem with the outer door dropping rainwater in the tent, despite knocking the water off before opening it.
All in all, it's a good little tent for a couple on a short break and I'm looking forward to using it again. It cost £40 in Millets's sale and at that price I think it's excellent value for money.

Used during the 'summer' of 2008 and didn't leak during the rain which was a plus.
I wouldn't like to use it as accommodation for the stated three person but as a basic, no frills tent for a couple then it ticks the boxes. The groundsheet extends into the porch area but it does leave a gap around the bottom so the rain can come in. Good enough for an area to leave your muddy boots in, but don't leave anything out there you can't afford to get wet!
Probably the biggest problem with the tent is the porch door: if it's been raining overnight then expect a soaking when you clamber out first thing. A better option would have been a flap door to the front.
Entrance door problems aside, it (and us) survived a week of wind, rain and weak sunshine without any major faults.
