Welcome to Claycation! We are passionate about ecological construction using clay and wood and are committed to preserving the history of the house—without compromising on modern comfort. Step by step, we are renovating this special place with great care and charm, entirely in our own sustainable style.

Our house was built in 1568 and is considered one of the oldest buildings in Marktbreit. Locals even say that it may have been one of the very first houses in the town. In September 2023, we took over the Hotel Gasthof zum Goldenen Schiff, and since then we have had the privilege of bringing new life to this historic building. To meet the diverse needs of our guests, we currently offer three room categories: Clay Rooms – fully renovated, modern and cozy, featuring carefully selected natural materials. Classic Rooms – partially modernized, combining old and new while preserving the building’s historic charm. Budget Rooms/Apartments – kept in their original style, simple and functional. The breakfast room still reflects the character of a traditional Franconian inn, with plenty of dark wood and a warm, inviting atmosphere – the perfect place to enjoy breakfast in a cozy and authentic setting.
