Hanley's is a privately run marina on the Roscommon side of the River Shannon. If you cross the bridge you will be in Longford as the village straddles both counties. It is situated on the north end of Lough Rea and there is plenty of boat traffic up and down the river throughout the season. The Marina itself is only five minutes walk from shops, pubs and restaurants. The village itself is quite small but if you're just looking for a feed and a few quiet drinks you won't be disappointed. The marina itself is gated and quite secure. The facilities there contain unisex toilets and showers which in general are kept quite well. Diesel fuel and full mechanical assistance are available onsite as is a slipway if required. The road surfaces around the toilet block are just hard core and could do with being completed and to be honest the full site could do with some modernisation like resurfacing the road, providing picnic tables and maybe a couple of barbecues . There are no complaints about the floating jetties however, they are perfect as are the water and electrical points on each of the three or four fingers. The proprietor, Michael Hanley is a credit to tourism in Ireland and could not do enough to make our stay a happy one. Overall I would encourage anyone passing up or down river to pop into Hanleys for a peaceful and relaxing night on the water. Regards, the Barefoot Pirate.
