You can rent from Bournemouth Flying Club, if you like Pipers, although they are a bit expensive.
BCFT have a C172 you can rent too, although it can be a bit complicated to get hold of...
Compton Abbas or Old Sarum might be your best solution, if you have a car. Very friendly places & some great English countryside to be flown over!!
Beware Cabair....lots of unmentioned extras.
