At the moment we're borrowing other people's tents but think it's time to get our own.
We're looking for a tunnel tent for 3 people (or possiblely a dome) where we can stand up in the living area. My DP's 6ft1. We want sleeping areas that are together and can be either be one or divided into two - they should be able to fit in a double and a single airbed. We also want the living space to have a sown in ground sheet for the whole thing - too many drafts if it's not.
We also don't want to spend too much as we will only camp 2-3 times a year.
Can anyone advise or point us in the right direction?

The hardest thing is the integrated ground sheet for everywhere. Also get one that sleep 5 or more so you have a bit of space.

Presumably a detachable groundsheet is therefore attachable as a SIG?

Millets do a tall one, bedrrom set up you require, cheap called the Sandringham. not Sig but it is in the pods, which is what matter I think. Eurohike Sandringham, £129.99

I've been pushing for the Millets teepee- on the sale atm, 230cm high, attached groundsheet AND diameter of 450 cm- might be a novelty but a very acceptable one imo!!!! Dh says no tho, he seems to have set on the Monty 4 or 6- we have to go see soon.

Thanks for the advice - they all look good. I'll have to look out for the sales now.

I've just got back from visiting famil in Sweden and the village where we stayed had a huge teepee at the lake. People stayed in it if they went down to the lake in the evening. The kids with us loved it. We spent an afternoon swimming in the rain and went into the teepee to get dry and get out of the rain. We lit a fire and sat around singing songs. When we decided to go back to the house it was weird to discover after all that it was still daytime. Go for it.
