The point about being surrounded by large lumps of cold iron also goes for stonework. Some of the old stone cottages here which can feel very cold, even after fan heaters are turned on and the air temperature gets well up into the 60s. Wood always seems to have a much "warmer" feel to it.

That applies to the cold as well. Though much colder temperature-wise than here, in many ways I found the in-land American winter much better than England because the air is so much dryer.
