This film is what I expect from Merchant Ivory, a tourist guidebook of a movie with wonderful scenery and acting. I don't see much else beyond a very ordinary boy-meets-girl plot. I have only seen this film once, so there are probably nuances I've missed. But I think there are much better nostalgic movies about the English upper classes as they never were, such as "A Passage to India" or (if it counts as a movie) "Brideshead Revisited".
