Every cliché in the book 😑
I'm obviously in the minority, but I think this really should have been kept for topping the bill on Comic Relief. The scenery is gorgeous - and that's it. The acting leaves much to be desired, very village am-dram, especially the usually excellent Anna Chancellor channeling her inner Lady Bracknell, her 'niece' totally overdoing the giddy teenager and the over posh acting of 'Lady Drummond West.' In general, it reminds me of 'Acorn Antiques', but it's actually (although unintentionally) funnier. Victoria Wood and Julie Walters would be right at home in this cardboard hotel. But fear not, it ticks the diversity boxes very nicely if not accurately.
