If you can not stand up in it, it is a "beginners or starter tent".
You soon find out what that means.
Your back will explain it to you.

Sorry, Mark, with respect, have to disagree with you there - most 4 season/expedition/high spec tents are not designed to stand up in, although ideally you should be able to sit comfortably in one.

I'm a Duke of Edinburgh Leader and the reason lots of Vango equipment becomes DofE recommended kit is that it is both affordable (but not "cheap") and decent quality that won't let you down if you look after it.

I would add that, looking at this tent on the Big River site, with just one sleeping compartment it's probably more suited to a couple, because once you get a double airbed and some clothes bags inside it will be full. An awning that works is a good idea though.
Camping is always a really underrated money saving holiday, especially near a beach or the coast.

Have a great Summer MSErs!
