Hi Martin,
The module itself is actually a total pain. It's surface mount and has pads on the underside. Most importantly though it has no aerial built-in which means that you actually need to solder it down (probably in an oven) to quite a specialised board design with a ceramic aerial if you want it to work well.
Realistically, once you've bought the module, PCB, aerial, capacitors and resistors you've probably spent more than one of the pre-assembled boards costs.
So for pre-assembled boards it looks like Embedded Adventures is a good bet. They have a UK office and also have the cheapest modules I have found so far: http://www.embeddedadventures.com/cc3000_wifi_module_wrl-3000.html
Note that the prices on their site are ex-vat. They also sell the modules on eBay if you'd rather not hand out your card details to a random website.
