Last weekend we headed down to Cornwall for a short break at Seaview Holiday Village near Looe.
We were sent with a challenge though!
As a blogger, lugging a great big camera around with me is part of the job, however Seaview wanted to show us how easy it is to record our holiday moments by just reaching into our pockets for our smart phones.
Just because pictures are taken on a phone does not mean they have to be of poor quality and with this in mind Seaview Holiday Village in Cornwall teamed up with Instagram photography experts to help their guests take amazing holiday pictures. They then challenged holidaymakers to take 500 amazing photos on their smartphones over the summer using the hashtag #SeaviewPix with the favourite winning £500 towards their next Seaview Holiday Village holiday.
Seaview Holiday Village has a large range of static caravans and chalets, including pet friendly options, and is in the perfect position to explore all that East Cornwall has to offer, with picturesque villages like Looe, tourist destinations like Torbay and is also close to the city of Plymouth.
We were staying in a static caravan which enjoyed commanding views across rolling fields towards Talland Bay and the sea.
It really was a stunning location and we were really impressed by the caravan and the facilities that Seaview Holiday Park had on offer.
I have to say it is the best equipped caravan we have ever stayed in. We a double room and ensuite and two smaller bedrooms with twin beds, a family shower room and kitchen / living area. Everything was provided with the exception of towels, food and cleaning products.
The park itself has a heated indoor pool, games room and playgrounds, so there is plenty to enjoy during the day. At night they have food, fun and cabaret in the clubhouse, and entertainment from visiting and star acts who perform alongside their own team.
We did have a small issue with flies in our caravan, but the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful and did their very best to resolve the situation for us.
We were also invited to test out Seymac’s App for Cornwall, which is a free to download app that has easy to search information and discount codes for local attractions and restaurants.
There were some brilliant discounts including an impressive £15 off Adrenalin Quarry, but sadly we were out-voted by the kids and found some more child-friendly places to visit, including Springfields Farm Park, a boat ride around Plymouth Harbour and down the Tamar River and The National Marine Aquarium.

It looks like a wonderful location for a holiday, I just love Cornwall so much. We are hoping to get down at half term although I haven’t booked anything yet 😉
I’ve never stayed in a caravan with an en-suite before. I am impressed! Looks like plenty for all the family to do. My kids love a park which has a pool in it.
Looks like a fantastic trip. That pic of the valley with the view of the sea is breathtaking. Such a beautiful shot!
The more I see and hear about Cornwall the more I want to visit! Pictures look great
This looks amazing, what a view and it looks as though there is so much to do x
Aww we went Cornwall last year for October half term and had such a lovely week, I wish we were going again this year. Seaview sounds like a really switched on place, I love the idea of #SeaviewPix. It looks lovely in the photos and so lucky you got the sunshine too x
It looked like a great location, and I loved your photos. What a great challenge, I think people take some awesome pictures with there phone’s these days
Love that idea for a competition and it certainly looks like you had brilliant weather for your stay. Cornwall is always a joy when the weather is good.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you win, Kara! This sounds like a good place for a family break. We haven’t tried these cabin style holidays in the UK, only in France and Holland, but we’ve really enjoyed them.
Lovely post and fab pics Kara. I think it’s a great way to a realistic feel for a holiday park, great idea 🙂
Oh this sounds perfect for us! We live in Cornwall and are always on the hunt for places we can stay for a weekend so this would be perfect!
Oh this looks lovely! Such a relaxing view and great for the kids to enjoy x
