Just been camping with this tent, bought just before we went away so only checked that everything was there, no practice at putting it up. It took us just over an hour to put it up for the first time and I would definitely recommend getting the footprint, it's extra protection from anything sharp in the ground and is an excellent guide of where you should be pegging things out. Easy enough to erect which is where the footprint comes in handy, I would say it definitely needs two people to pitch it properly. There was only two of us so loads of room, great living space, would be cramped for 6 though. Kept us dry during the rain. Overall a great tent and would recommend it.

First time camping with this tent and alls I can say is what a quality bit of kit.
We got the tent, porch, footprint and carpet and are really happy with it all.
There is lots of space for me the wife and our little boy, with large bedroom areas and living area.
I would strongly recommend the porch and the carpet, as it gives you just that added little bit of extra space and comfort.

We bought this Zenobia 6 tent last year our first tent the same year did not have fully sewn in ground sheet so we flooded. We used this tent for the first time last august bank holiday for a weekend but had to pitch in gale force winds which did not help great tent though. This year we wanted to buy the porch only problem is they have changed the tent to blue and ours is green so now we have a green tent and a blue porch. We have been away for this week and again had to pitch in wind and rain for some reason we could not get tent right this time at all the door we were using to go in and out of was so tight we could only open one side of it. As this is only our second time camping if anyone has any ideas on how we could solve this problem we would be very grateful. We do love the tent however and think it is excellent value for money.

This tent is a gem! Easy to erect and take down. Only takes about half hour with 2 of you and of course the added bonus of having the sewn in groundsheet means no rain/dirt underfoot. The air vents are a blessing therefore condensation is kept to a minimum. Many doors for entry/exit means it doesn't matter how you pitch you will be able to get in and out. Great too if you have nosey neighbours! We used a footprint groundsheet this year with the tent and was well satisfied. We love our Zenobia 6.

We are new to camping so we spent a long time researching what tent to buy.
We chose the Zenobia 6 man tent, even though there is only 2 of us plus dog, (we do like lots of space!)
We did a trial run putting it up before we went away and all was fine, (if you can't put this tent up you shouldn't be camping. We are over the moon with our purchase, I don't think you can beat value for money.
We bought the footprint, carpet and porch, and I really think you need all of them. The footprint shows you exactly where to put your tent, the carpet makes it extra warm and comfortable & the porch took 20mins to put up and gives you so much more room and makes a huge difference if its raining as you can keep all wet stuff out of main tent area.
L would recommend this tent to any one camping.

Bought the tent for week or longer camping for myself and my wife, using the second bedroom as a storage area. Took the tent for a long weekend last weekend to try it out before the summer. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law also came in their Zenobia and we had both tents up in just over an hour (two of us putting them up). The tent was excellent and roomy with just two of us in it. We used the carpets and footprint ground sheet but didn't fit the porch. Well worth the money at £299 from Go Outdoors for everything on a Managers special. I would recommend this tent to anyone who asked. Only thing I found was comments on the tent said it had 3 doors, but we could only find 2.

We have just returned from our first time camping with our new Zenobia 6. We managed to pitch, peg out and put bedroom compartments up in about 1hr 15 ish which we where impressed with as first time campers. We used the footprint which helped to ensure we got it up straight! The bedroom compartments where easy to attach. Everything is colour coded so easy to follow! We managed to get tent into bag on our second attempt. For new campers remember to open doors so that the air can escape when rolling. I would agree that the tent wouldn't be big enough for 6 but its perfect for 4! As we where only away for one night we didn't set the canopy up, nor did we use the storage pockets, however we definitely will be trying them. Overall we are really pleased with this tent.

This is a very good tent but I would not like to camp with 6 people in it, the living space would be far too small. At most I would think that this would do 4 people just down to the living space that you have.
We used this tent in some really bad weather, probably the worst thunder storm I've seen since I was a kid, and the tent stood up absolutely no problem. It was a bit like walking on a water bed though as the rain was stuck between the SIG and the footprint, but none came in.
I like that this tent has doors on both sides but I think there could be more in the way of windows as we do like to sit in the tent and still be able to see what's going on outside.
One of the main things I didn't like about this tent was the kind of skirting bit around the bottom of the tent outside. It looked great and probably helped with wind etc but I found that it took quite a lot of pegging out. You'd basically got your tent completely pitched and you still had another 30-40 pegs to do. I used to have a beer and a break and then do the rest of it. I also think it would be better if the front door zipped all the way in (but I think that with every tent I've had).
We paid £200 for this tent which I think is quite a lot for what you got. We had to return this tent as there was a fault with one of the zips. We were planning on just getting a replacement but as they gave us our money back we opted for a Corado 6 instead as it was only £50 more than what we'd paid and seemed much bigger/brighter and better value for money.
All in all I'd say this is a very decent tent and will definitely stand up to the weather.
By the way, if you're searching online for the best price for this tent (or for the footprint), also search on the Gelert Horizon 6 as they are the same tent just with different branding.

We have been away, for the first time in our own tent.
We originally wanted to buy a corado 6, but they were out of stock. We saw the Zenobia 6 and thought that it fit the bill as we could take our older kids with us and when they don't come, have a load of space.
After trying it out in the garden, we ventured to a site, last weekend, with friends. It took about 1 hour 20mins to put up but this was with the Gelert canopy (which we hadn't tried before), and very hard ground full of tree roots, so I was quite happy that next time I can knock a fair bit off that time.
It was very easy the erect and we didn't have any of the ventilation problems (even though we only put up one bedroom). The tent was stable, warm and had plenty of space.
My friends were impressed with the porch, but this was a bit on the tough side to get up.
We got the footprint and carpet, which is useful for keeping the tent clean.
Very impressed overall and in total(for the tent, porch, carpet, and footprint) cost us £320, so in my opinion good value

Great value for money, paid £144.95 from go outdoors (through amazon) and you get quite alot of tent for your money.
It was quite a squeeze to get a double and single air bed into one bedroom pod but we did manage it. Very easy to put up and take down but I might buy a different bag for it as the tent compartment is quite small.
