'My wife jumped out of her skin', a resident told Sky News, as they were left shaken by the 'terrifying' earthquake.
"I was actually reading a little bit of news on my mobile phone and my wife was falling asleep by the side of me and then the whole house shuddered," he told Sky News.
"My wife jumped out of her skin and I leapt out of bed, put my dressing gown on because I thought something had collapsed within the house. "I wondered around and there was nothing in the house as such that was damaged or broken or fallen down and then I went outside." Howard is no stranger to earthquakes having experienced one in Düsseldorf, Germany, when he was there with the army, and a small one had struck his home in the Valleys once before since he moved six years ago.But, despite the tremor, the guests at the B&B clearly still had a good night's sleep as at breakfast on Saturday morning they said they had"all slept through it".
