We chose Kingfisher 1 because of the limited available accommodation in the area. it appealed because the price was reasonable but also because stopping on a narrowboat had a little sense of adventure. The accommodation was better than I had experienced when hiring a similar vessel for a week. A proper shower was great, a proper double bed and a full kitchen including a washing machine! The marina setting yards from the Kingfisher pub was perfect, with a large Tesco a short distance away for provisions. Best though was Donkeystone Brewery a short walk up the towpath (or via Tesco). Space in the brewery has been turned into a large bar, with a fantastic selection of beers. we also enjoyed a quality meal.
If you want to stay in the Saddle worth area, it's difficult to think of a better option.
