Whether you consider a house comfortable depends more on you than the house. But it is pretty easy to describe a medieval house so you can determine whether you would be comfortable in it.

Most people were serfs. A serf's house differed from a log cabin with a dirt floor in a couple of important ways. One is that the serf's house had no fireplace. They just built a fire in the middle of the floor and let the smoke go out through a hole in the roof or under the roof peaks. The other difference is that they had no glass in the windows.

If you want to think that is comfortable, then you are allowed to do so.

Or, maybe you want to know if the house of a wealthy person was comfortable. For most of the Middle Ages, the wealthy person's house differed from the serf's because it had its fire in a brazier on top of a stone or tile floor, and it might have had glass in the windows. The wealthy had servants, of course, but they still did not have electricity or Plumbing. After the 12th century, when the fireplace chimney was invented, wealthy people could be cozy.

You should bear in mind, however, that none of this was any worse than how people lived under the Roman Empire, and not much worse than how people lived on the American frontier.
