SoulPad 5000-ease Bell Tent

Well what can I say that hasn't already been said on Mumsnet?!

I have to say I wasn't keen on the idea of camping. I'm much more of a 5* hotel kind of girl. However I said I would go if I could have a large tent with separate bedrooms, lots of space etc etc. This I got and more and it was great but I kept seeing these Bell Tents everywhere and I'd already got into my head that I wanted a canvas tent.

It took me a long time, but I finally managed to convince DH that a Bell Tent was the way to go (something about 68 pegs in our old tent and it taking over an hour to put up).

I can honestly say we are both converted. We've had several weekends this year where I have gone to the site ahead of the family and out the tent up by myself with absolutely no problems.

Nothing beats waking up in the morning with no condensation, nothing feels damp, it looks, smells and feels lovely.

I now prefer us all sleeping in one big room (we do have their inner which is also fab) as its easier to deal with any night time wakings.

Even DH who held out for ages agrees its the best.

There are downsides. It is heavier, takes longer to dry out and there is no porch (though you can get a tarp) but compared to all the upsides, these are nothing.

Simply the best tent ever, can't recommend it highly enough. We can get it put up in about 10 minutes & are no experts, takes 3 double mattresses with plenty of room for other stuff. Incredibly stylish & gorgeous I love it!!
