Love the look of these tents but can't seem to find out for definite whether the Guadeloupe has an insect proof inner bedroom area dividing curtain. From what I can make out from photos it looks like it just ties together, no zip, and isn't fixed to the groundsheet with a zip so therefore not exactly bug resistant. Can someone confirm please? I can only find Attwoolls and Caseys Outdoor who stock them, anyone know of any other stockists - I live in Worcestershire. Cheers!

I saw a Guadeloupe in person at the Forest Camping Centre. and it had a curtain type divider separating the sleeping area from the living area.
I believe the larger Barbados has a separate inner tent.

The Guadaloupe DOES only have a curtain to divide the bedroom from the living area (that isn't attached to the floor IYSWIM?) but the tent itself has a S.I.G so should keep most of the creepy-crawlies at bay, Just make sure you keep the door shut when the mozzies wake up!
REALLY lovely tent BTW

Yes, agree with Andy - gorgeous tent (well, I am biased).
No seperate inner as such but a dividing curtain which zips down the front but is open at the bottom. But as it has a sig very few creepies can get in and if you keep the curtain zipped you don't get the flying ones either! Keep the door closed and the windows unzipped (flymesh attached) and you'll be totally bug free. This pic shows the inner divider zipped closed - see it comes right down to the floor.
But if you want a Cabanon pyramid with a zipped up enclosed inner tent, then the bigger Barbados is the one for you.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post and especially to Anne for the pic. So many good things going for this tent I think I can live with the chance of the odd bug getting under the curtain. Got one on order from Caseys, the last 2011 one, really helpful guy there, offered it to me for £550, well, how could I refuse! In 2012 instead of the side panel Cabanon are apparently making a full canopy which will fit this 2011 model and the 2012 one, which remains the same as this year's. Sooo looking forward to trying it out, not sure if I can wait till Easter though!
