What do you think of this tent for a camping virgin?

We're looking for our first tent and saw this one today and it looked fab. It's reduced from £440 so looks like a good deal.

Anyone have any experience of Coleman tents or any advice?

coleman tents are good, but not the cheapest on the market, so depends how often you are planning on using it. if it will be value for money

The plan is maybe to go away at least 1 weekend each month in nicer weather. Tbh I'd rather pay a bit more to get a decent quality one and really fancy an Outwell but don't want to pay that much. Thanks bucksdad.

We bought our tent and equipment from Towsure!(sp) We have had no trouble from them.

The sunncamps look amazing for the price but can't find one that compares with the coleman's size, unless I went for a 6 man or more. If I haven't heard any horror stories I'm going to buy it in the morning - thanks all.

Just popping in before swimming - looks like a great buy, reliable name, well made - how many of you will be sleeping in it?

Only me, dh and dd (3). The living area is huge which I like. Right- I'm ordering now, will report back when I've tested it in the garden!
