Thanks Val, had missed your reply. Could it take inners? Overall would you buy it again and has anyone else bought one? Wonder what the matresses like? We want a 5m belltent but have a wedding to go to in Scotland in October, so verrrry tempted.

Yes I would buy it again - really pleased with it

No I wouldn't buy it though if I wanted a 5m - there is a lot of difference in space between the 2

The inner in the 5m has d rings round the top of the 'skirt' - I'm sure it wouldn't be a massive problem adapting a tent to have these - The top of the inner just hooks onto the top of the pole

Would have thought they were just standard air beds and bedding etc, if they had been home I would have probably had a nose at them!

If this was my 'main' bell tent I would go for a ZIG, rather than a separate ground sheet

Saying that the cost is nearly 3 times as much for the 5m zig, so it depends how much you want to pay out

Have been looking at these tents on eBay too as collection can be arranged from near Northampton too. How many people could you comfortably sleep in a 4m? How warm are bell tents compared to modern tents with SIG?

hard for me to say as i didn't pitch it properly, but would guess at 2 adults, 2 kids max

4m will be easier to heat than the 5m, so fan heaters are fine
