Have a look at;

We have two German Pointers, and many sites aren't willing to take on two large dogs, but we have found some good ones on this site.

Loads of countries have a South Coast. I'll assume you mean England. Here's a few websites that you may find useful:

Kodiak Canvas Tent??

Q. Hi, my husband and myself are looking to purchase a good quality tent for our family of five. My question is, has anyone ever used or owned a Kodiak Canvas tent? And what suggestions if any do you have for at least a season 3 tent? Thanx for any answeres.

Answer
I purchased a Kodiak Canvas 14x10 a couple of months ago and love it. Our scout troop has the springbar and they are more money than the Kodiak. I think the Kodiak has them beat. They are easy to set up with just one person and I am 6'3" and can walk around on the inside. We bought ours from Cabelas and seemed like a good deal. Have fun Camping

What kind of tent should we get?

TaDa

I don't know anything about camping, but we're a family of four and will be going on camping trips with the Boy and Girl Scouts. What kind of tent should we get? What style? (Idiot-proof set-up would be good.) What's a good brand? (We're in Texas, so we're more likely to be camping when it's hot not cold.) Thanks!

Answer
For car-camping I always advise families to get a separate three-man, three-season, nylon dome tent for each two or three people. Maybe some families enjoy a slumber party atmosphere the first night, but by the second night I'll bet most people would prefer a little privacy.

Some people see one of those big two or three room "cabin" tents and think that's the answer, but those things are overkill, often too large for the campsite.

Even though you're camping in the summer, a dome tent with full rain fly is essential in case of a freak storm. If it's hot you can take it off, unlike a cabin tent which is usually just one layer. Some dome tents have more mesh screen rather than nylon on the inner layer and those would be the coolest.

REI http://www.rei.com/ has many good quality tents, including their own brand which are a great deal. http://www.rei.com/product/745955

If there's any chance the Scouts might be going on a backpacking trip sometime in the future, and are required to bring a tent, you might want to think about the weight of that second "kids" tent and instead try to buy the lightest 2 man, 3 season tent. This one is reasonably light for two people to share carrying it. http://www.rei.com/product/705525

I just remembered, after all that, that I also always advise people never to buy tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, etc. for their first camping trip(s) and instead to borrow or rent the more expensive gear to give yourselves a chance to learn what your personal preferences are without spending big bucks. REI also rents tents, sleeping bags, pads, backpacks and camp stoves. They have six stores in TX: http://www.rei.com/FindStores?state=TX&radius=900
