Pros: ground sheets prevent flooding, amazing height even for 6"2 people.
"I set up this tent with a person that is really into there camping and they are now saying they will be getting one too. It was very simple instructions to follow and between myself and a 14 year old (we never set up on our own before) we managed to set up in 35 mins. Amazing room inside, with standing room in each bedroom to get dressed."

Pros: easy enough to put up
Cons: groundsheet system leaves strange-shaped gaps!
"reserved this in store as there was only 1 in stock in a 100 mile radius - the store had no knowledge of the reservation despite my having a ref number - luckily it had not been sold. Good service at the shop but clearly the system of reserving does not work and we could have had a wasted journey of over an hour.
Product is good overall and a lovely size but the system of grounsheets and the porch bit seems like a rushed bit of design"

Pros: good size, waterproof!!!!!, fair price (in the sale), one person can erect with patience.
Cons: heavy tent bag
"I am not an experienced camper, but found this tent to be reasonably easy to put up. i erected this on my own in light wind conditions to check it out then again for a one night camping trip in windy conditions. I would recommend if you have someone that can help to use them, but its not impossible on your own with a little patience and know how.
The tent is a really good height, i am 6' tall and had no issues. The sleeping compartments are of a good size, though it may be rather cosy to have two adults in one.
While I was camping the tent got a good testing with the rain. The rain was very heavy for about 2 hours and I found no leaks, although on a side note, when using this don't forget to put the edge of the groundsheet up on the door entrance before going to sleep, as water will find a way in on it.
The tent packs away fairly easily too, but one warning is the tent bag when fully loaded is quite heavy."

"This tent is very spacious inside. The time we used it, it was very windy so it was a bit difficult to put the tent up. But having said that, the tent was fine in the wind for 3 days. I can't say anything about waterproof because the three days we used it, we didn't have any rain.
Overall, we thought it is a very good family tent."

Pros: easy to put up., good price, well made, plenty of head room to stand, convenient storage bag
Cons: big gaps for wind to blow through, bedroom small space for double airbed no more
"On paper this tent was perfect for us. Great price. Perfect size. It ticked all our boxes. However when we pitched it, the walls of the tent were anywhere from 3 inches to 7 inches off the ground. So the wind howled through the tent. Even when we fitted the ground sheet that attached with velcro to the walls there were still huge gaps where the wind blew through.
To be fair it was a bargain price and for that price I can't fault the build quality. In ideal non windy conditions it's a good tent,but heaven help you if a cold wind blows."

Pros: good value, withstood bad weather
Cons: pole broke, pegs too flimsy
"First of all this is very good value for a 4 man tent - especially with 2 bedrooms - essential when you have kids.
Very easy to erect, myself and my 15 year old daughter and 10 year old son got the tent erected in about half hour with no issues whatsoever.
Whilst away we encountered gales and 3 days of constant rain - the tent easily withstood both of these so no complaints there.
Came with its own bag and folded away nice and easy.
OK - down points - set up at home before the holiday and when putting it down one of the strings in one of the poles went. I couldn't fix this so had to wait for Halfords to send a replacement. Waited over a week instead of 2 days as suggested, but then got 2 new poles instead of 1, so at least have a spare. But - if this had happened on holiday that would have been holiday over - so not sure how long the poles will last.
Secondly, tent pitched on fairly hard ground and tent pegs bent easily. Fortunately I had been lent some heavy duty tent pegs - I would say these are essential as the pegs supplied were fairly flimsy.
Otherwise an excellent good value tent and would still recommend."

Pros: does what it says, weather proof, easy to put up, flysheet goes up first (so inner stays dry), adequate quality
Cons: not that spacious, canopy not enclosed so can't be left open in rain
"Excellent general tent - a bit compact, but waterproof (tested by Cornwall rain) and has a reseaonably sized living area. I'm sure its not the best on the market, but for this price we were very impressed"

Pros: good head height compact and easy to put up!
"I just love this tent! Bought it today and my friend and I decided to put it up in the back garden before our adventure at the weekend. It took us 15 minutes tops and instructions are easy to follow. Sleeping areas are cosy and living area has good head height. The tent bag is ace, mentioning this because it is adjustable and even if you're not so good at folding it up, it goes back in the bag not matter what! Also, its very compact and takes up little room."

"First time I have bought a tent, took my grandchildren camping. My spec was that I needed 2 separate bedrooms, able to stand up in the tent and ground sheets to prevent crawlies sleeping with me.
I did not find it easy to put up but having done it I think it will be easier next time - could not understand how the ground sheets fitted and then found that you need an additional sheet if you put one in both bed compartments - bit disappointed.
Having said all that it was a comfortable tent, enough space for double mattresses in each bedroom and the centre compartment was very roomy although I did not need to use it for cooking etc as I went with family. We did have downpours and it was watertight.
The colour is green and I was told that flies go for green rather than 'blue' for example - not sure if this is true but we did get lots of flies and insects in stuck to the roof of the tent - bedrooms come with mesh so they didn't get into bedrooms.
Everything taken into consideration I was pleased with the tent."
