Can anyone recommend a good Mandari/English dictionary? I would really like one where I could look up words by Stroke Order.

I would recommend you Far East Chinese-English Dictionary. I find it very useful and I have always found everything I look for. If you decide to buy it, make sure it is the edition you want. There are two versions, i.e. simplified and traditional characters.

you may try some good online dictionary by just cut and paste the single word into it without counting the strokes. I am not sure how many strokes of most characters (not important to us Chinese) myself without really spending time to count them.
 
e.g.
1)  http://chinesebay.com/cgi-bin/wordlook.pl?searchtype=english_gb&where=start&word=fun; - ChineseBay Dictionary in a whole .
paste the Chinese character and select as "gb" or big5 and submit, you can get the definition.
 
2) http://khuang.com/dict/?word=%E6%96%87 - Chinese-English and English-Chinese Dictionary online at Khuang.com
