Horrifying wake up call at Premier Inn as 'mouse ran across my face'

A carer claims she had a disturbing wake up call at a Premier Inn when a mouse scuttled across her face as she slept. Francesca Fattore had been staying at the Eastbourne Polegate branch in East Sussex for a work meeting when she says she was abruptly woken by the 'hamster-sized' rodent. At first, the 44-year-old thought it was her pet kitten standing on her face, but when she remembered she was in a hotel room and not at home, she began to 'freak out.

' Horrifying footage shows the mouse scuttle across her belongings before running across the radiator and up the curtains. In another clip, the small animal can be seen scampering down the hotel's corridor after Francesca showed it the door. Following the incident, the guest posted a video on TikTok of her fluffy encounter and, while many users were left shocked, others said it was like a scene out of 'Stuart Little'.

She says it hasn't put her off staying at another Premier Inn but left her unable to sleep for the duration of her stay. Premier Inn apologised that Francesca 'didn't get the great night's sleep she deserved' and are refunding her for her stay. Francesca, from Reading in Berkshire, said: "I was asleep.

At home I have two kittens and sometimes when they jump down from the headboard on my bed they jump on my head. "I thought one of the kittens had done this and then I came too and realised I was in my hotel room. "I then realised the feet that had ran across my head was not my cat.

I could hear the rustling at first .
