Bought this in 2011, but it turned out to be too small for us, as I like to stand upright!
Turns out I'd bought it online and accidentally purchased the wrong one. Whoops!! Easily done, I'm always getting measurements wrong by buying online. Best I keep to buying in a proper shop me thinks.
anyway heres the original, slightly updated review I gave at the time...
"Slightly shorter than I remember, but more than adequate for our needs. First night was extremely windy and rain lashed down. The tent was superb in these conditions and in the morning it didnt even need they guy ropes adjusting. Easy to set up by one person and equally easy to pack away. Carpet could be a little bigger and it slips about a bit, but looks the business. Headroom in the bedroom could be a little larger and if you are a little claustrophobic the Hood river 4 may be a better option for you. I found the tent was warmer than my previous tents. Everything's sewn in which is great. I would highly recommend as its really light when packed down. And it looks good too."
Updates:
Also found out too late that the campbeds don't actually fit in the bedrooms and couldn't zip them up at night - resulted in being eaten alive by midges that had got in earlier in the day. Also there was no flysheet blocking the gap between the bedroom and the outer tent, so it was prone to hiding insects. Ugh.
Sold the tent on Ebay after only using it twice. Makes a nice tent for a single person, would not get 3 in there tho.
