Set in Newtown Saint Boswells in the Borders region, Nina's Den @ 26 Davidson Place features a terrace. Guests staying at this homestay have access to a patio. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Melrose Abbey is 6.3 km away. What I loved the most was that it was nice and quiet (perfect for a proper rest). I had a great sleep in the comfy bed, and the room was cosy and warm. The bathroom was immaturely clean and had a nice hot shower. Private entrance so you can come and go as you please without disturbing anyone. I would definitely stay again.
