Jersey :ok:
They have a stunning Chippy in the fleet (G-APLO) on lease from Air Atlantique - you can do your tail-wheel conversion and then solo hire the aircraft - it's about £130ph wet from what I remember the last time I took her out.
OK, so not exactly the South West, but one of the few (only) places I found to train and hire the Chippy. Pick up a cheap flight from Exeter, Plymouth or Southampton (or get the fast ferry at Weymouth or Poole) and stay in one of the budget B&B's - well worth it.
If you go next week, may see you there :E

Advertised as dual only, £150ph, but there is one at Eaglescott (http://www.eaglescott-airfield.com/html/flying.html)
Allbeit in the NE corner of the South West, this one is just about to go on-line at Enstone for tailwheel conversion:
