My recommendation would be to go for a 4 season sleeping bag or a good range 3 seaon with a fleecy liner. Look at the comfort range as well as the extreme temperature given (these are independently assessed although the methodology isn't perfect). The extreme is a hyperthermia temperature guide with woolly hat,gloves etc, so the comfort range is more applicable to look at. Remember in the summer a 4 season bag will be very warm!!!

Millets Adventurer 300 (is 3 season but comfort -2 to +25, extreme -15) - one of the best comfort ranges for a 3 season bag we found without going silly on the price. If we are cold camping we also have Gelert fleecy sleeping bag liners to add an extra season. We have camped already in the ones we got in Millets sale (on a 2 for 1 deal) and we are very impressed. Out perform our old Vango Wilderness 350s. If you get one right hand zipped bag and one left hand zipped bag they can be zipped together, with only the toe end separate.

Just as a note - sleeping bags with straight through seaming, rather than staggering seams throughout the layers, will be colder, as will rectangular bags rather than mummy bags and those without insulation over your shoulders, head and zips.

Following on from Floggitt's comment. The Millet's bags also have an optional expanding panel you can getif you find you want more space in their mummy bags.
