Pros: value for money, everything you need to get you started, a good quality product
Cons: tent lights supplied are a little dim
"As a first time camper I had no idea what I was looking for in a tent, the guys at my local halfords were great and recommended that I went with this tent pack as it would meet all my needs.
We did not try putting up the tent prior to our camping trip and when we got there we layed out all of the parts read the instructions step by step and it took us about 40mins to get it from the bag to ready to use.
The pump supplied was great and blew up the air beds well and quickly.
I liked that inside the tent you can have just the bug net closed not the whole thing which was good as meant we could see our son the other end of the tent.
The tent is a great size and had plenty of room for our suitcase and the 3 of us to sit inside whilst we had breakfast.
The sleeping bags kept us very warm (we went in April, so not the warmest time to go camping) and we slept very well.
The only thing I would recommend purchasing in addition to this tent pack is another lantern as the one provided isn't very bright. Also be aware that it is quite tough to get everything back into the tent pack!
It comes with 2 extra metal poles which it doesn't state in the instructions what they should be used for, after looking around at other tents we realised they were to prop up the door to make a little porch."

"decided to try camping for first time in many year, bought this tent pack and was very impressed how everything was packed away into it own bag. Tent had a good test with the english weather wind was very strong and rain came down, but we stayed dry and warm. Bedrooms good size not to much room but done, the middle part of the tent was very suprising good size sat us all around with chairs drinking wine and beer. Came to packing this tent away and was suprised that we could get it all back in the bag it came from. Would recommend this tent to anyone wants to try camping."

Pros: comfy airbeds, great price
Cons: confusing instructions, leaks
"Several false starts led to 2 hours of frustration with instructions. 1st night a zip broke on a sleeping bag. 2nd night it rained quite hard. Leaks from seam by central lantern hook and two symmetrical 50cm x 3cm patches in the roof that hadn't been treated properly. Replacement will be thoroughly tested in garden and I advise you do same. Big lantern a waste of time."

Easy to put up & generally good quality except the air beds; both have been replaced already & one of these replacements is going back again.
There's nothing worse than waking half way through the night lying on the floor when your air bed has deflated."

Pros: walk in height, easy assembly, bright colouring - easy to find in a sea of blue, great value
"We wanted to buy a new tent for our trip to Glastonbury that would provide us with space to sit in our tent if it was raining, an area for all our possessions and a bedroom to sleep in.
We also needed a double air bed, pump and sleeping bags.
The Urban Escape Family Tent Pack did not disappoint! It's a fantastic size and buying a tent with the accessories meant we only had to go on one shopping excursion.
It was also really easy to set up with straightforward instructions to follow.
The fact that it's walk in height makes it so much more comfortable and you don't feel claustrophobic when you're in there.
I reserved the tent online and collected it in store which was fantastic!!! As soon as I'd reserved it I had a text to say it had been reserved and someone from the store called me later that day to tell me it was ready for collection! On arrival in store, the store colleague went straight to get the tent pack! We were in and out of the store in 10 minutes.
A fantastic experience and product!"

Pros: good quality, plenty of room, we like the option of 2 or 4 man
Cons: instructions were poor, there are more guy ropes than necessary
"We are quite happy with our purchase. We would not have paid the full price for the pack but we got it at a reduced price and it's worth every penny.
The quality is good although as this is our first tent of this size we have nothing to compare against.
The instructions were not good though.
It took us about 40mins to erect.
The first night of our camping trip we had about 2hrs of torrential rain. I'm pleased to say we were warm, dry and cosy. No water entered the tent at all.
I am 6ft tall and can just stand up in the living area which is great.
The LED lantern and torch are very cheap but were sufficient on this occasion.

Pros: good value for money, great for first time campers, good quality materials
Cons: pitching instructions could be better, sleeping bags a little snug for the bigger person
"We were first time campers and spent quite a while looking at the various deals available at the moment. We decided to go for this deal after lots of looking at reading of reviews and are really glad we did.
We did a test run in the garden first and were grateful we did this so as not to look silly at the site. Took a bit of time to pitch (1 hour 30, due to instructions)the first time, second time was much quicker (40 minutes). We found that starting at one end and doing the pole then pegging out the end and guy ropes and then working our way along was the best, just my opinion though.
The tent was very robust and we had no leaks despite a good old Scottish summer! The rising ground sheet worked well and kept all the water out, the blow up mattresses are good quality and fit the bedrooms perfectly. My only issue was that the sleeping bags are a little snug for the bigger frame, zip burst on mine after the second night but just as cozy when used like a duvet fully opened.
I would definitely recommend the option of the stove and do not forget the tent pack which makes pitching and taking down much easier.
Really good way to have a nice family holiday, our girls 5 & 3 loved it."

"We were first time tent buyers & wanted something easy to put up, good quality and with decent height (standing room). This tent has it all. The instructions werent great but after the first time its easy to erect (we had a practice run in garden). We used it for the first time a few weeks ago. It was warm and comfortable with no condensation in the morning which was a bonus. The sleeping bag and mattress are great quality but the lights a little small but still usable. The living area is a great size lots of space to sit in if the weather is bad and you also have the option not to use the 2nd bedroom and an extra ground sheet is provided for this purpose. Overall we were delighted with our purchase and cant wait to use it again soon..!"

THE FIRST DAY WE HAD IT THE TENT HAD NO INSTRUCTIONS SO WE RANG HALFORDS AND THEY TOLD US TO BRING BACK THE TENT BAG AND SWAP IT FOR ONE THAT HAD INSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE OF A FACTORY FAULT. AFTER WE COLLECTED THE BAG WE PITCHED THE TENT WHICH WAS MISSING A GROUND SHEET SO FOR THE SECOND TIME WE WENT BACK TO HALFORDS WHICH A MEMBER OF STAFF GAVE US ONE FROM ANOTHER TENT. WHEN WE ARRIVED IN FRANCE WE PITCHED THE TENT AND 3 OF THE 4 SLEEPING BAG ZIPS WOULD NOT CLOSE THEN ONE OF THE DOUBLE AIRBEDS KEPT LOOSING AIR. THE LAMP WHICH WAS ALSO SUPPLIED WITH THE TENT WAS FAULTY TO WHICH WOULD NOT TIGHTEN AND THE END WOULD KEEP FALLING OUT. SO WE HAD TO BUY NEW SLEEPING BAGS,AIRBED AND TAPE THE BOTTOM OF THE LAMP."

"Great tent for the money, especailly when you get 4x sleeping bags and 2 beds etc. Easy to put up for first timers.
Used twice now and both times it was very windy and allot of rain. Tent sturcture remained strong even though one pole/structure pole had slipt. This was promptly replaced by halford with no questions asked.
very happy with the purchase."

"Had a trial run in the garden then a weekend away. The tent was easy to erect after the trial run, even in the wind. We had a lovely time, the tent withstood both high winds and rain. It also dried out quite easily at home later (rained on pack up day!!). No way we could get it all back into the bag though. The small light was great but the larger one was useless. The sleeping bags were great for the kids but a bit tight for us adults, and we're not oversized.
All in all a good buy at the price we paid for it."

Pros: cheap roomy
Cons: fair still weather only
"My husband and I purchased this tent in April 2010. We tested it with a sheltered pitch in May and it was great - very roomy for 2 people to have a week away with kitchen, table and chairs. In June we took it to North Wales for another long weekend and it was great to come home to in the evening after a long day walking. Unfortunately in September on returning from a hard climb we found our tent ripped apart (not at the seam) by the wind we had (not especially strong). In turn anything that was in our tent had been blown down (eg. gaz lamp smashed onto blankets etc.)
All in all, it was a rather expensive process - especially when we had to pay for accommodation else where that evening!"

Pros: great value for money, easy to put up, waterproof, very roomy, fly nets on bedrooms is good idea
Cons: instructions could be better, little drafty as tent doesnt reach ground, liked a fly net on main door
"we bought this pack after much looking! theres so many to choose from, but glad we went for this.as a first time camper i didnt want to spend too much on something i might not like, so this was ideal.its excellent value for money, the tent is well made ,very big, and adaptable, you can have either both inner rooms or just one, and has ground sheets to do both! nice touches like the cable inlets, and lantern hooks, and the porch is very good for the wet days.
easy to put up and down and fits easily back into bag.the rest of the extras a good too, the sleeping bags are very warm, though larger people might find them a bit tight, airbags and pump were very good, the pump inflates and deflates very quickly, lanterns are a bit of a disappointment, they are tiny and are really not suitable, one better one would have been better than two not so good ones.
we also bought the half price cooking set, which was great value for money as well, and fund eveything in it invaluable, even the frying pan was easy to clean after the morning bacon sarnie.
all in all i loved it and will be adding to our camping collection, chairs table electricity cable lights......"

Pros: luxurious, spacious, good ventilation, easy to erect with instructions, extra ground sheet, 1 0r 2 bedroom option
"We tested out our tent this weekend in mayo before our big trip to France this summer. We set it up in pitch dark but managed well by following the instructions step by step. It took us an hour but bare in mind it was our first time and we had only lamps to guide us. Lots of extra pins and the poles are very sturdy.
It was far more spacious than we imagined it to be. Our kids first experience camping and they slept soundly and comfortable all night thanks to the blow up beds and mummy bags. Very well insulated no issues with drafts (we were on a mountain top). The ground sheet and tent edges meet well and you would think it all one piece when complete.
Love the large windows in main "lounge" and the attachment for hanging the lantern. the main door also can be left open with net in place. Having 2 doors and windows either side is handy too. The extra ground sheet will come in useful when we only want one bedroom too, a Real bonus. The bedrooms are shadow free so nice and private.. also they have windows that can be open wide or on a vent. Nets on them to keep the place bug free. The bedroom doors also come with a net (double zipped doors). Plenty of head room in main lounge no need to slouch except when entering door. Enough space in bedrooms too with little pockets to keep your bits and bobs.
The bag is a big one and probable would fill a small car. We removed a seat from our scenic to accommodate buggy, food and luggage. Comes with wheels for easy mobility. We managed to pack it up in about 30 mins too with all the accessories. You absolutely need 2 people to erect and dismantle effectively.
Pumps for beds worked well and fast. Missed not having a pillow (inflatable up beds are flat with a soft side for sleeping on). Lights were good too. But smaller than they look on pack :P
Can't wait to use it again now. Pure luxury!"

Pros: easy to erect, good value
Cons: instructions could have been better
"Great tent and easy to put up, especially with two people which I recomend you do. Like a few other people who have reviewed this item I found the instructions could have been more clear. It was most confusing about the pins that go on the end of the poles. This would have been easier if the instructions had gone with pictures of the parts rather than just a list. With two heads though we think we have worked out the correct way to erect this tent, everthing looks as it should and it stays up. Haven't tested overnight yet but will update this review when I have."
