New Tent - Advice

We are looking to buy a new tent but don't have loads of money to spend on one.

This is what we currently have http://sports.ciao.co.uk/Coleman_Bi_Space_500__5612979 but find it's rather small for our growing family of 2 adults and 2 kids (9 and 13)

This is what I have found is it any good? Or is the price the only thing thats good about it?

    Not sure about this exact tent, but there is a well-known model called the Hertford by Outwell tents. This is not the same tent, so make sure you have the right tent if you read any reviews.

    I have a gelert cadiz "5+2" which is a 7 person tent and suits our needs (me, mrs, boy 14, girl 7) It only has two rooms though so may not be suitable for your situation as DD shares our space DS has the extra room.

    Another point to bear in mind, some sites charge extra for larger tents, particularly at busier times.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today!:mad:
    Cos if you do it today and like it...You can do it again tomorrow.. :p

    i have just bought a vango vail 500 got a good deal online its a tunnel tent, its for myself, partner and children. Nice sized as well as like above some camp sites we have used in the past will charge for 2 pitches for some of the newer models. The Vango Amazon is this years (Vail was 2007) but with the sizing it would need 2 pitches.
