Thursday evening - 4 hungry people - didn't book - got a table in Auntie Mabel's Kitchen with ease. Delightful 'can do' staff who couldn't have been nicer. The venison pie with the smoothest mashed potato I have ever had, + peas was superb, as was my wife's duck. Fish and chips went down well with friends. 2 main meals... More

We returned to The Drewe Arms for the first time since marrying there last year last week. We love this place - not only the location, charming buildings and food, but also the warm ambience and excellent service. It's laid-back without sacrificing quality (much of the menu is locally sourced and beautifully cooked) and you will be warmly welcomed by... More

We had a very good lunch today, I enjoyed the duck confit and my partner loved the sausages. Bread and Butter Pudding was unremarkable but enjoyable. The staff were a joy, very welcoming and attentive and helped make an enjoyable lunch seem special. Thank You.

A good old fashioned pub B&B - The staff were helpful enough without being over friendly. Bedroom was comfortable with the usual quirkyness you expect with a several hundred year old building. The food was really good, can heartily recommend the restaurant. BIt of a struggle if you go back to the room early, no tv, no decent radio coverage... More

Stayed in the Drewe Arms for a weekend of mountain biking and hiking around Dartmoor and i couldn't have wanted for more. The rooms are nice and affordable and Paul, Fiona and the rest of the staff look after you well. The beer is excellent and food is fantastic, I couldn't recommend this more highly.

I stayed at The Drewe Arms for a long weekend of mountain biking with three mates and really couldn't have wished for more - the bunk room we stayed in was cosy, the beds were comfy, the breakfast enormous and very tasty. Evening dinner was a real treat, especially the treacle sponge pudding :D and the ale and scrumpy were... More
