Hi Jabber

Welcome to the most addictive forum in the world.

If I were in your shoes I would look for a 6 berth tent.  This would be the smallest size I would consider as most manufacturers base the berth size on a camping mat and not a blow up mattress.

Having said that, your budget is going to limit your options.  If you could possibly increase this to £125 amazon have a Gelert Horizon 6 in blue with free delivery. For some reason the green is double the price. There would be enough room inside for you all if the weather was bad.

Good Luck with your search and happy camping.
