What we've verified
Keyhaven and the start of Hurst Spit are about 2 km west along the coast from Milford on Sea, and the dog paddock is right behind the hotel.
Dogs join you for breakfast and dinner in a set dining area but aren't left alone in the room.

What we've confirmed, at a glance.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs can come to breakfast and dinner, where doggy dining has its own area. Keep the lead on in all public areas. The dog paddock at the back is for off-lead play. Dogs aren't left alone in the room, but the hotel can provide a cage and arrange a pet sitter for a fee if you ask in advance.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
