We've just come back from our first weekend away in this tent and was very impressed. The tent was spacious and we had loads of room. It was easy to put up. Unfortunately we had some of the worst weather possible with gale force winds one night and torrential rain on another but the tent came out of it unscathed and remained dry inside. I would recommend and only marked down as the pegs that came with it were rubbish and bent easily. Luckily we took our hard ground pegs with us which resolved the problem

We recently purchased the Zenobia 6 and had its first outing last week. We could not believe how easy it was to put up! Other tents we have struggled with but the Zenobia was up and pegged ready to furnish in 40 mins, we were well chuffed.

There is so much room in the tent,the height and SIG make so much difference. Never had a SIG before, really does seem cosy and warm!

Excellent tent and fantastic value for money.

We've had this tent for just over a year now. Being new to campling, we wanted something not too expensive, yet big enough for 2 adults, 2 children and a small dog, so settled on the Zenobia 6.

We are really made up with this tent and have used it for weekends as well as a full weeks camping.

There are a few small issues, namely one of the tabs that hold the pockets by the doors in place has broken, probably due to overloading the pocket though.

The porch which we also own had a tiny tear in the roof, however the supplied repair kit has worked a treat.

The main issue we have is the poles splitting, at least 2 a visit, however they are cheap and easy enough to replace.

Thankfully we haven't had the problems with leakage as experienced by other users, but did waterproof recently before our last trip to Devon.And so glad we did given the rain!

I really like the layout of the tent, and with the carpet, it does give it warm feel on cold nights.

There is plenty of room in this tent, ours is fully equipped with a double bed, 2 singles, a double inflatable sofa, a single inflatable chair, fridge, TV, DVD player and a couple of chest of drawers, as well as the stove, kitchen unit and table and chairs in the porch.

Highly recommended.

This is our first tent with a full SIG and we've just spent a week in it.

The weather was fairly bad at times with high volumes of water and wind. But the tent stood up to all that was thrown at it, and we stayed warm and dry inside.

We also brought the carpet and side extension and these go a long way to increasing the comfort level of this tent.

Only two minor niggles, After a spell of very bad weather we had a small amount of condensation under one of the bedrooms, this went away with an airing. The other issue was a small manufacturing defect were a tent/frame pin was missing.

I love this tent, it is soo easy to put up and take down I very often go camping just myself and my 11yr old daughter and between us we can get the tent fully pitched and usable within the hr. That is all ready airbeds inflated and food on the go. Spacious my only issue is the colour in fading light outside because of the dark blue colour it makes natural light in the tent impossible but that is a minor issue

Having read lots of reviews, we finally settled on the Zenobia 6 mainly because time was running out for us to get a tent and when we saw this on display at Go Outdoors, we immediately liked the style.

Although a 6-berth, we found it comfortable for our family of four at the recent CarFest weekend.

We had plenty of rain but the tent stayed dry. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a footprint but plan on doing so based on what others have written.

For me this is a great value for money tent. The only addition I would like to see would be more hooks and storage capability but really can't fault it for the cost.

New to camping ,wev,e had 2 outings in this tent ,first in wales begining august 2012 damp conditions,rain and wind only problem was condensation,now I know to be my fault as I never had vents open very easy to put up we were complete novices

2nd outing with this tent end of august bank holiday 2012 in skegness ,we added a porch and opened vents in tent little to no condensation porch gave us megga room to sit in and have a beer,the tent is so spacious and tall enough for anyone,2nd night in skeggy it poured down and really windy ,tent never budged or leaked ,it was a giggle sitting having a beer and keeping warm and dry watching the down pour,

This is one of the better things I have brought in life,my wife son and I have enjoyed camping and I believe having a good tent like this has made it a good experience for us and would recommend this tent

Forgot to add there are 3 of us in the tent me and the other half in 1 end and the lad in the other,i think for 6 it would be a squeeze

Just had our first outing in our new Zenobia 6. We spent 2 nights away and are a family of 4, (2 adults, 2 teenage boys).

We didnt pitch as instructions but used the method of inserting all poles and then pulling one end out, we managed to have the tent 'up' in under 15 minutes (obviously a lot longer to peg out)

We picked this tent because of the space, it seemed so much bigger than some of the other tents we looked at, and the living area was big enough for 4 of us to lie on the floor playing cards!

The bedrooms are more than big enough for a double airbed and we used the remaining space in each to store our clothes and coats etc. I like that the bedrooms have a ventilation window at the back, next to the ventilation flap on the tent itself, and also a ventilation window on the door with a zip for optional privacy. This also meant I could peep through to check on the children without undoing the door and possibly waking them.

The tent itself has 2 doors, which made it easier to pitch as it didnt matter which way around we pitched it.

It also has zipped and covered ehu points on each side. (which we didn't use).

All the windows have covers and a bug net. Both doors also have a separate bug net, which I think is a great idea. We have the porch as well, so when we went out we just zipped up the net on the tent, to allow a bit of air in.

The tent also comes with a detachable, handy pocket unit which can be placed on either side of the tent. I may see if I can purchase another. There is a hanging point for a light and also velcro hanging points along the middle pole, for lead from an electric light to be kept out of the way.

Fortunately we had quite good weather so I can't really comment on that, but there was a lot of dew the first morning and a brief shower, we stayed dry. It has lots of guy ropes, so assume would stand quite well in the wind, a lot more than some of the others tents we saw.

Porch isn't huge, but we bought it for the storage of shoes etc, in order to keep the SIG cleaner, and it worked well for us. It has 2 big windows and we pitched it easily.

All in all we are really happy.

After a bad start and having to return and replace first Zenobia due to fault we have just returned from a 3 day family trip.

We were looking for an affordable spacious tent for 2 adults and 2 kids and thats exactly what we got. After 2 practise pitches in the garden the tent went up easily on site.

Plenty of space in living area for the mornings and evenings. We also bought the porch for table and chairs and cooking which made all the difference.

We had a double and a single airbed in one room that fitted nicely. The other room had a single airbed and all our clothes and random bits and bobs with plenty of space left over.

Ventilation in bedrooms are great and having doors on both sides of living area meant we could get a nice through breeze in the hot afternoons (not that we were in the tent much!)

Initially when we bought the tent there was ehu zips on both sides and bedroom doors had full double zips for fly screen. When tent was exchanged the Zenobia was on offer at £149. The difference was only one zip for ehu on one side and bedroom doors only have a partial flyscreen zip section at the top of the doors. Not a huge problem but probably one Go Outdoors should make you aware of when buying the tent as it is not the same as the one displayed in store and we had originally paid a higher price!

All in all this is a great starter tent for our family.

Great tent! the bedrooms had more than enough space for us and our dog to sleep in. Purchased from go outdoors a few months ago, didn't pitch it in the garden so we just took it out for the first time when camping in woolacombe. It laughed off all the bad weather we got and was easy to collapse. All around, a great value tent!
