The Drewe Arms is a Listed Building of architectural and historical interest, graded II* by Historic England. As a public house, it represents a type of building fundamental to moorland and rural communities, serving as meeting place, waypoint and shelter for those crossing or working the landscape.

The building itself likely dates from the 17th or 18th century, though it may contain earlier elements. It stands as evidence of how Dartmoor's edges and approaches supported permanent settlement and trade, with the inn serving both locals and travellers moving through Devon's moorland country.
