Off Peak Luxury Newsletter

Off Peak Luxury is a specialist UK luxury hotel breaks provider, founded in 2003 and operated by OPL Leisure Group Ltd, based in Halifax, England. Since its early days as one of the first online agents dedicated to independent UK luxury hotels, the company has grown to represent over 200 carefully selected properties and handled tens of thousands of bookings. The "off peak" name does not mean restricted travel dates; it means guests pay genuine value prices during quieter periods rather than peak-season rates. With over 700 unique packages across England, Scotland, Wales, and the Channel Islands, Off Peak Luxury covers everything from spa breaks and gourmet dinners to romantic escapes and country retreats.

A Curated Collection of UK Luxury Hotels

The portfolio at offpeakluxury.com is built around independent, owner-managed properties. The majority of featured hotels hold AA ratings, with many included in the AA Top 200 UK Hotels or listed with Small Luxury Hotels of the World. The reservations team carries out regular inspection visits so that recommendations are grounded in first-hand knowledge. Guests can choose from contemporary city hotels, historic country estates, boutique townhouses, and coastal retreats, each vetted for quality of rooms, dining, and facilities.

What the Packages Include

Packages are designed around occasions rather than just accommodation. Typical inclusions span:

• Dinner, bed and breakfast arrangements, often with a three-course dinner and full cooked breakfast
• Complimentary extras such as Prosecco, champagne, or afternoon tea on arrival
• Full use of leisure facilities including pools, gyms, and spa access where available
• Spa day and treatment add-ons at selected properties
• Themed breaks including wine tasting, gourmet dining, and seasonal countryside stays

Packages are bookable online or by phone, with the team available Monday to Sunday to assist with choices and itinerary planning.

Booking and Flexibility

Off Peak Luxury requires full payment at the time of booking in order to secure the negotiated hotel rate. Prices include VAT with no additional card processing fees, and Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, and Apple Pay are accepted. Date changes are generally available free of charge up to 48 hours before arrival. For cancellations made well in advance, vouchers or alternative dates are typically offered. The company has held PCI-DSS certification for secure card processing since the early years of trading, and UK card users benefit from additional Consumer Credit Act protections.

The OPL Leisure Group Portfolio

Off Peak Luxury trades as part of OPL Leisure Group Ltd, which also operates cotswoldhotelbreaks.com, countryhotelbreaks.com, luxuryhotelbreaks.com, and lakelandluxury.com. Each brand focuses on a specific region or style of UK break, allowing the group to offer depth of knowledge in areas such as the Cotswolds, the Lake District, and rural England more broadly. Gift vouchers are available across the group, making the breaks a popular choice for anniversaries, birthdays, and corporate gifting.
