I've not stayed there but it's right next to the A595 and near to Sellafield so it will have a fair bit of road noise.
Have you considered Church Stile near Wastwater or the Old Post Office at Santon Bridge if you're wanting to be near Wasdale, I think both have EHU.
If you're in Gosforth I recommend the bakery!

Both independent, both expensive but most sites are in that area.

If you go there, pop into Woodall's butcher's (at the top end of the lane, also houses the Post Office) for some genuine Cumberland sausage, bacon etc, by Royal Appointment. You could also have a trip on L'aal Ratty (the Ravenglass - Eskdale railway) - we can highly recommend the afternoon tea at the station cafe at Eskdale, not exactly refined but delicious and very filling - and visit Muncaster Castle with its bird of prey display and daily heron feeding, as well as the usual house and gardens. Ravenglass itself is worth a wander round (basically just 1 street leading down to the shore, though has a selection of pubs and cafes and a high end hotel), and if you're lucky you'll see some spectacular sunsets.
Oh, and Seascale is great if you like quiet, unspoilt beaches and St. Bees Head just up the coast is well worth a visit- though usually windy!
Whitehaven is the nearest town with a supermarket, so I would stock up before you go, but the marina is very pleasant for a wander round and it's easy to get to by train from the station at Ravenglass (easier than car parking!).
Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time when travelling - most of the roads round there were not built for speed.

Whitehaven is the nearest town with a supermarket,
Nearest large supermarket perhaps but there are plenty of Co-ops etc in the villages which are fine for holiday provisions, on top of visiting local businesses.
