I have the vango cairngorm 200 and love it.. havent taken it in the mountains as I dont live near any, but it does the job for me and I got it on sale for around 120 quid
My favourite 3 season tent is the vango cairngorm 200. Affordable too. I put it in a compression sack and it goes into my pack super small. It’s not the lightest tent in the world but it works the best for me.
Selling my trusty Cairngorm, if your interested DM me
I'm assuming you're UK? Something by Vango or berghaus from GoOutdoors will do you fine. No reason to spend money if you don't need it (I killed a Vango tent in 3 weeks last year though so if it's more than an emergency tent then you may want to) Warning - last year camping in the black forest was near impossible without booking. I crossed it twice and it was slammed everywhere. The Vosges in contrast was lovely. Nice and quiet by school holiday standards so I'd head there first.
