I've got a 4 m for me and 2 kids, which is plenty big enough. It would be big enough for 2 adults / 2 children as well although I'd probably be tempted to go for the 5 m for a bit of extra space. I got my zig from Baker and Bell for £350, which was a pretty good price and the tent is fine. No fly screen on door though, but it would be very easy to hang some netting there instead.

We have a 5m and there are 5 of us,it is really roomy, think we would have the same for 4.

We have a cheap double airbed (£10) for dds who share (they are 9 and 10) and a Vango double sim for dh and Ds and I

I've got the zipped in ground sheet. I'm still working on bed mats. At the moment we've just got roll mats which keeps the damp off, but I want something a bit better.
