Bed and Breakfast at 4 offers a superb town centre location in Thurso, Caithness, for both tourists and business people alike and there are a fine choice of bars and restaurants on the door step Within 5 minutes walking distance of the B&B there are fabulous views of Dunnet Head (the most northerly point on the Scottish mainland) and The Orkney Isles. During the winter months you may be lucky enough to view the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).
