The aristocratic Davenport family risks losing their estate, Fackham Hall, unless one of their daughters is married off urgently. The most convenient match seems to be their cousin, but the Davenport girls are more fond of lowly stable boys and thieves, and no one at Fackham Hall, where degradation and stupidity reign supreme, is capable of thinking two steps ahead.

This enjoyable silver-spoon romp packs all of its 97 minutes with jokes and bits ranging from the puerile to the genuinely funny.

— Adrian Horton, The Guardian

The genre of English costume drama, which has been given a new lease of life thanks to Downton Abbey, has been waiting for a truly funny parody, and Fackham Hall takes on this mission: absolutely everything is ridiculed here.
