Der Schwan Hotel & Restaurant

This characterful hotel with super restaurant & beer garden is about 25kms south of Nuremberg in lovely countryside. My room was amazing as I believe the building is 700 years old but service & amenities are all 21st century. Dinner was top quality local food and well presented. Der Schwan is family run and the local staff very efficient. Well worth checking out if you are nearby.

This hotel is special. From the moment you step through the door you are transported back in time and enveloped in its unique and historic a**osphere. Dating from the 1630s the building is full of character and charm. The room was spacious and furnished with a mix of crafted furniture and antiques. The food in the restaurant is exceptional and the portions are very generous. It was very pleasant to eat our meal in the courtyard surrounded by mature planting. The staff are friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is great for exploring the Bavarian region of Germany and it’s about a half hour drive by car to Nurenberg which is extremely handy for the airport. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return

Really friendly and welcoming staff. We stayed for 1 night, ate dinner in the restaurant and breakfast the next morning. Everything was really good - especially considering the good prices. Perfect distance from the Autobahn. Will stay here next time we go skiing in Austria.

Ok, so we found this gem as stop off on our journey with 4 kids from Lüneburg to Brixen im Thale. The hotel: fabulous wooden frame building keeping all the character of the exposed beams and antique furniture and that has been renovated to modern expectations and standards. Clean, comfortable and everything you need. A real privilege to stay in such a building. The restaurant: delicious, local food, wine and beer. We have 4 kids and there was something for all of us and the kitchen is very flexible for those wishing something more individual (!). The weather allowed us to eat outside in their relaxed cobbled beer garden amongst the shade of the trees. Babies, dogs and smaller portions for the smaller appetites, all welcome. The breakfast: delicious spread, arranged by the friendly and dedicated staff. So, as I said...I don't really want to tell you about this little gem...but it is too good not to.

Outstanding Hotel, fantastic food (would recommend the peanut Ice-cream or waffles for dessert) and beautiful, comfortable rooms full of character. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The beer garden has a relaxing feel with it's ivy clad walls and cobblestone paving. So much character and history in this hotel! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a more authentic experience than your average chain hotel can offer

Bellissima struttura tipica in posizione strategica lontano dalla confusione di Norimberga tipica del periodo dei mercatini di Natale! Il personale è molto accogliente e le stanze sono pulite e curate in ogni dettaglio. Colazione ricca e parcheggio in strada trovato sempre senza problemi. Abbiamo anche approfittato della cena al ristorante..cibo davvero ottimo!

Wirklich großartig! Tolles, altes Haus mit viel Geschichte, einzigartige Zimmer, neues Badezimmer im Zimmer - alt und neu liebevoll zusammengebracht. Das Abendessen fanden wir sehr lecker und die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder :-)

dieseshistorische Hotel (Poststation) nahe Nürnberg hat uns in eine andere Epoche entführt. Das Fachwerk a**et Geschichte mit allem Drum und Dran. Hier ist nichts gestellt, alles echt inklusive Geräusche und Gerüche. Die Küche war sehr gut, vor allem der halbe Karpfen hat mir besonders gut geschmeckt. Hab immer darauf gewartet, dass morgens die Postkutsche angeschirrt wird und Mister Darcy das Haus verlässt!
