Rosaire Court & Gardens

Rosaire Court & Gardens is in the Parish of St Peter Port, Guernsey’s capital.

Although Guernsey has strong ties with the UK, it is a Crown Dependency and independent from the UK with its own laws. Anyone considering living at Rosaire Court and Gardens must be registered as having residency status and been awarded a Population Management certificate which allows them the right to live on the island.

Rosaire offers a quiet, safe, and welcoming environment and has a wide range of on­site facilities including a café, hairdressing salon, laundry, guest room, communal lounges, activity room and parking for residents and visitors.

The attractive communal gardens include a pleasant patio with landscaped gardens leading off the dining area where residents can sit and enjoy a meal from the café, and an additional courtyard garden where people can come together, chat and enjoy the weather.

St Peter Port has a lively atmosphere, with events and festivals held in the town throughout the year and across the island. The majority of these are during the holiday season from April to October when you can also watch the cruise ships anchor in the bay for passengers to visit.

The nearest bus stop is just a few minutes’ walk away and there are routes across the island that run from the bus terminus by St Peter Port Harbour. There are doctors' surgeries within the local area and the hospital is a short drive away. There are several reliable local taxi services including accessible cabs to take residents shopping or into town. During the winter months the Lions Club runs a free weekly shopping service from Rosaire to local supermarkets.
