I knew I'd forget to mention something so I've listed budget now, cheers.

It's a TW133ASM - really good picking guitar IMO, possibly not such a good strummer because of the small body.

I bagged a Tanglewood TW73 (sunburst) for £273 with fees about 3 or 4 years back - new bankrupt stock
Faith Mercury naked (parlor ) could be got for your budget........ possibly even a larger model
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
My daughter plays a Faith Venus (naked finish) and that's a way nicer strummer than mine, but it also cost twice as much so not really a fair comparison. If a used one could be had within your budget could be worth a look.

Nice score on the guitar!
Yamaha has to be top imho. I'm impressed with the Vintage brand too. Both have the aim of giving us good quality budget instruments. The source of this for both brands is largely/exclusively China or the Far East. So if you specifically want a guitar from nearer to home you are limiting your choice: a lot.
Epiphone, Eastman, Tanglewood, Ibanez attract good comment. Loads of brands make cheap end guitars but not all sound that great.
At the size and price you're looking at, my choice would be
Yamaha FS830 Acoustic in Natural | PMT Online
There are a lot of cheap end all-mahogany instruments floating about at the moment and they can sound very nice.
Vintage V300MH Folk Guitar- Solid Top- Mahogany Series | guitarguitar
I have both guitars (nearly - I actually have the FG 830)
Good Luck to you both.
