About
Set in the rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park in West Sussex, Tottington Manor Hotel & TERRA Restaurant brings together award-winning dining, relaxed country hospitality, celebrations, weddings and overnight stays in one beautiful rural setting. Located north of Brighton and close to Steyning, Hassocks and Worthing, the hotel is perfectly placed for exploring the South Downs and surrounding Sussex countryside, including the nearby South Downs Way.
At the heart of Tottington Manor is TERRA Restaurant, an AA Two Rosette restaurant celebrating seasonal food and the wonderful produce available across Sussex and the surrounding countryside. The menus are shaped around quality ingredients, thoughtful cooking and a strong commitment to local sourcing, with dishes changing throughout the year to make the most of what is in season. Guests can visit for anything from a relaxed lunch or Sunday dining to dinner, special occasions and more indulgent dining experiences.
During the warmer months, dining naturally spills outside. The Pergola provides a relaxed covered space overlooking the South Downs landscape, while the TERRA Courtyard offers another beautiful area for drinks, dining and informal gatherings. With countryside views, gardens and plenty of outdoor space, Tottington Manor feels wonderfully removed from everyday life while remaining within easy reach of Brighton, Worthing and the wider Sussex area.
For more intimate occasions, Tottington Manor offers private dining rooms for family celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries, lunches and dinners. These spaces allow guests to enjoy the food and service of TERRA Restaurant while having a room of their own, making the hotel particularly suited to milestone celebrations and family gatherings.
Whether visiting for AA Rosette dining, a walking break, romantic stay, private celebration, wedding, business meeting or a relaxed afternoon overlooking the South Downs, Tottington Manor and TERRA Restaurant offer a distinctly Sussex experience: independent, welcoming and rooted in the food, landscape and hospitality of the county.
