We bought the tent in the summer of 2007 as we wanted a bigger one (you always want the next best one!).

We took it out for the first time beginning of August (2008). As commented by most the tent was easy to erect and only took us 45 minutes - wow and this was in minor windy conditions. We did not argue either, great tent!

The tent stood well so we decided to take it out the weekend after as we wanted to make the most of it. We went to a local site and pitched it the day before we were due to stay as we had work and did not want to waste the Friday night. This time it took us 22 minutes and lets just say GOOD. The heavens opened and it was thundering & lightning, the site had never experienced anything like it (flash floods!). The tent with the built in ground sheet was a god send - what an experience but most of all what a fantastic tent. We recommend this one to everyone. Our downfall was we could not fit everything back in the bag either, we think we may have cracked it for our 3rd and final camp trip of the year (August bank holiday).

This is the first tent I have owned! We purchased this in early july and took it straight from shop to the local scout field to erect it [Was a lovely day for it!]

It really was quite simple to erect, and we even managed to get it back in the bag.

First 3-night camp yielded the same result. About 1 hour to erect the basic tent, and we used some cheap B&Q Tarpaulin to add an extra layer under the SIG [Sown-In-Groundsheet]

We had a little rain and wind and this offered no problems to the tent. Head high is great and the space inside is most welcome.

All in all a great tent at a great price!

Very spacious tent, used it for my first outing with the kids 7yrs and 15mth, my girlfriend and her mother, easy enough to put up and pack up. Would recommend to others, could have done with some external shelter either the add on that is available or a gazebo all in all though a great bit of kit!

We love this tent. 2 adults, 2 kids and the dog all fit in no problem.

We have the added luxury of the carpet and the sun porch (the newer style with the door) which are absolutely fantastic and highly recommended. We use the sun porch as a kitchen and one of the bedroom pods as a bathroom/changing room - what luxury. We have repacked it in its originally bag 3 times, and although tight it is possible.

Bought this tent in May and have been away twice using it for weekends. It is an excellent tent, absolutely massive! We have 2 children who share one bedroom, we have the large bedroom and then the other bedroom we use for storage and to put the porta loo in - excellent!

We have the matching carpet and sun porch too so all in all quite a luxurious experience!

We found this tent pretty easy to erect and take down but as in most reviews on this site there was no way it was going back in the tent bag (hence the 9/10 rating).

When originally buying this tent we considered some that were much more expensive but for under £200 this tent is a bargain.

All in all I would strongly recommend this tent, we originally bought this just for weekends but are now seriously considering a much longer trip.

We are new to camping and got this tent last year. Went away recently and had heavy rain and strong winds. Managed to pitch the tent in about an hour (1st attempt). We had no problems despite the weather, tent stood up really well. Acres of space and cosy inside. It is a must that you buy decent tent pegs before you go! ones with the tent are pretty useless if very windy.Love the tent but we couldn't get it back into one bag! no major problem we just got another bag for the the pods. Highly recommend.

This is a brilliant tent and is easy to put up and to take down and put in the same bag! ( Fold the tent in half long ways and half again, put the poles in there bag and place at the bottom of your folded tent, roll as tight as you can and put the tent in its bag. Fold your bedrooms into a small rectangle and hey presto all three bedrooms go in the bag on top of your tent and zip the zip easy ! and we were beginners. It was torrential rain and blowing a gale it did not rain in or blow away. TIP! Rock pegs are the way forward normal pegs are useless on hard ground and your tent will become unstable in the wind. At 35pence each they are a must have

Used this tent 3 times this year, very good, really easy to erect. However if its windy this tent becomes quite unstable, its alright saying pitch into wind but what happens when the direction changes? Had no problem at all getting it back in the bag.

I got 1 of these and well what can I say. It's easy to put up or down and as for space wow where did that lot come from. When you leave the 2 smaller rooms out you need a mobile to speak to person at other side lol

Overall I'd recommend this to any person you won't be disappointed
