The old faithful Vango Banshee 200 is a good shout. Little heavy, but a solid 1 person + gear tent.

Banshee is bombproof if you're after sturdy

Can confirm. I took my wife wild camping in my Banshee 200, it was "cosy" but the weather was nice enough to be out in the open.. The second time was the last time she came and that was 4 years ago. I have a Naturehike Cloud Peak 2 and it's great, plenty of room for 2, sturdy, but is on the heavier side of things.. Imo, go for the Lanshan 2 (not the pro). It's definitely my next tent!

Don't know about that one. I have a Vango Banshee 200 which I wouldn't recommend for two even though it is a two person. And a OEX bobcat, which is a (great) 1 man. The cloud peak has been my most recent buy, and I have a lot of love for this tent. Have even taken it on my last few solo adventures

Vango Banshee 200. About £170. A bit tight but servicable. Big Agnes Blacktail 2. One door.

Hello, I can't speak for the other ones but I do have a Banshee 200 and I think getting two people and all their stuff into one would be pretty difficult. A Lanshan 2 might be a better option when it comes to size - I was really impressed with how much space you get for similar-ish money and less weight and there's loads of porch space both sides to put bags, though of course you'll need a pair of trekking poles. Failing that, a 3 person tent might be the way to go.
